Paul Shapera - Priscilla Contemplates lyrics

(Priscilla leaves Jasper at the table and goes to the side of the room to reflect) [Verse 1: Priscilla] Some speak about love in a sweet way Enchantment, romance and dizzy dream states And some just wait and pace their cage Some speak about love as a pa**ion As rapture and cries and sighs and gasps and Some resign to yearn inside These odes of tear stained banter and dew eyed candor That wither in the world, the world that Just deceives you and beats and bleeds you And leaves lonely little girls [Chorus] And some sacrifice, anyway Some sacrifice, it all away Ah, the fallen and the burdened and the wreaths upon their grave When they're broken there's no a**urance they made a better place [Verse 2] Some speak about love in a kind way The friend that won't leave and makes your day sane As you bide and cringe and hide Some wait for a stranger to touch and fill them Some wait for the stranger who will k** them And some just pace their lonely cage With one dear doll who keeps you from crying but cries too Silently inside Some speak of love and kindness and clutch in blindness And take and hoard and hide [Chorus] And some sacrifice, anyway Some sacrifice, it all away Ah, the fallen and the burdened and the wreaths upon their grave When you're broken there's no a**urance you made a better place [Outro] (Priscilla picks up the phone) Hello, police? Hello, police? A felony, you need to see (Priscilla puts down the phone and returns to Jasper who has seen and heard what she has done)
