A wicked fellow in father's room His voice with darkness announcing doom. The boy behind the curtain easy to find losing his father, his sight and his mind As a man with no fear, for a woman he cares But the heaviest footsteps head up the stairs. The fellow so dreadful with that croaking throat Hawking those gla**es from inside his coat. Sneering motions, laughter so hideous That ash-grey coat, it is Coppelius... This must be a dream, a phantasy of fever
That beauty of the moon, a pleasant thought of love While thoughts of the puppet fade from his mind His gla**es work their magic, again he goes blind The ash-grey coat staring out of the crowd Those screams of d**h, sickening and loud... Sneering motions, laughter so hideous That ash-grey coat, it is Coppelius... Sneering laughter, hateful and nausious? That coat disappears, where is Coppelius?
