Adelaide - The Autumns

Adelaide

The stars within your eyes

Like marmalade beneath a summer sky

Your fare is paid

From Monticello, Maine

Adelaide, they sing the same;

refrain, refrain, refrain

«Spread your wings and sail the seven seas

The future is blest

For those who sell their souls and all the rest»

Adelaide

In January’s wake

New Years Day, «an innocent mistake»

As they say

With thumbs in purple pies

Adelaide, they spin the spun;

reprise, reprise, reprise

«Spread your wings and sail the seven seas

The future is blest with me by your side

Migrate west, young child

The Queen of the Nile

The future is blest

For those who sell their souls with all the rest»

Adelaide

Stars fade away

And your skin to grey

Red lips ruse

You amuse

With your listless smile and your leopard style

Adelaide

If all the world’s a stage

Adelaide

How long will you remain?

Adelaide

The same from age to age

Adelaide

A shade away from sane, insane, insane

Tell me

How does it feel?

With dusk drawing near

Upon your «career»

The sadness in your eyes

Summers nights gone by

A luckless dreamers past

The luster never lasts

There’s one thing left to do

Ooooo

My red-lipped ruse

To kiss the hands of fools
