House of Cards
03:24
|

Eight o'clock, on the dot
The guests arrive
right on time
Champignons and Pinot Noir
It's a soiree at the House of Cards.
Sideways glance
hushed romance
Secret signs
pinched behinds
Rendez-vous
entre nous
There's intrigue at the House of Cards
But beware, beware
to whom you dare
entrust your secrets
keep the cat in the bag...
at the House of Cards
Cheeky conversations
Lengthy explanations
Innuendos abound
at dinner in the House of Cards
Jalousies run rampant
Sarcasm flows like wine
Tongues more slippery than satin
It's dessert at the House of Cards
Beware, beware
to whom you dare
entrust your secrets
keep the cat in the bag...
in the House of Cards
Poison in the Cabernet
A woman's life
fallen prey
Poirot could surely help reveal
the villain in the House of Cards
It's a classic whodunnit
a case for Scotland Yard
Edward Gorey would have drawn it
that dastardly villain in the House of Cards
Everybody's pointing fingers
The butler's at large
Clouseau can't find his notebook
and Sherlock Holmes, well... he's just high!
Beware, beware
to whom you declare
your confidentialities
don't reveal your hand
Take care, take care
Lest you fare
as an
unsuspecting casualty
in the games they play
lest you fall prey
in the House of Cards

Walking down Main St
it's a ghost town
stores closed down
for sale signs
it's a real, a real
sign of the times
I'll tell ya it blows
it blows my mind
Running down Wall Street
stock market in distress
greed and corruption
whoa what a mess
I can't understand how it got this bad
where is Robin Hood we need him now
Chorus:
It's alright It's Ok it doesn't matter anyway
It's alright It's Ok you can't tell me any other way
It's alright It's Ok `cause I'm feelin' good today
It's alright It's OK
Strolling down the Champs Elysees
The Arc of Triumph gracing my way
I can't take the Metro the workers are on strike
they're flexing, they're flexing their Union might
Lost in Trafalga Square
the spirits of history looming there
My childhood years
they've long gone by '
but that's alright `cause I got this song in my mind
Chorus
Walking down the Bowery
things just don't look the same to me
no CB's, Johnny, Joey or Dee Dee
but somehow I hear them whispering to me..
.
Chorus
Dancing in my room in the nude
I got nothing, nothing, nothing to lose
I got years behind me hopefully more ahead
I wanna do something good before I'm dead
Chorus

Magician and the Dancer
04:32

Red velvet hat
she sneaks out the door
umbrella in hand
Pinofore
the streets are wet
the sky dark
she slips her hands into her gloves
her carriage rides
on cobble stone
echoing through the streets of London
She sheilds her face
and closes her coat
and steps out of her horse drawn coach
Chorus:
And just like Alice she ventures alone
her world of color Kailidescope
she takes to the stage
she reigns them in
and the crowd cries out again again again
Bespecked face
bowler hat
shirt and tails
a dapper man
An illusionist
his slight of hand
he charms he deceives
he confounds
And just like Alice he ventures alone
his world of color Kaleidoscope
he takes to the stage
he reigns them in
and the crowd cries out
again again
She sits backstage
waiting her turn
watching the magician
who is this man
her heart beats faster
he catches her eye
and in an instance
their worlds collide
Oh oh oh...
And now they no longer
venture alone
their world of color
Kaleidoscope
they take to the stage
they reign them in
and the crowd cries out
again again again
The lights go dim
the curtain is drawn
the crowd goes home
they're in love

Vitame Vas, Vitame Vas...
Hanzel and Gretyl

deep into the woods
leaving bread crumbs behind them
to find there way home
Vitame Vas, Vitame Vas...
Goldielocks

right into those woods

ome soup
some beds
and some bears
Vitame Vas, Vitame Vas...
Ahh ahh...
Little Red Riding Hood

with a basket of goods
looking for grandma
she didn't find her
instead she found
a wolf
Vitame Vas, Vitame Vas...

Yes! I'm French
03:33
|

When I came to America what a land to behold
all was so different so big and so bold
I was merely a young girl just ten years old
with a very strong accent and a rather large nose
Chorus:
Yes! I'm French, but don't hold it against me
Si vous parlez Français, won't you come my way
Yes! I'm French, but don't hold it against me…
I was teased at school and dressed kind of strange
by the time I was in college I was slightly deranged
cultural confusion just got worse with time
with age I say to hell with it and I drink lots of wine!
Chorus
I'm also half British confusing but true
imagine the inner turmoil I went through
when those jokers served up freedom fries
I saw lady liberty rolling her eyes
Chorus
Now for a living I sing and I dance
I travel the country and soon back to France
for my accent is gone so sad it makes me
but the worst of it is I lost it in New Jersey!
Chorus

Vaudeville Voodoo

He loves her, he loves her not...
All day long she's got that song
in her mind
Voodoo tricks and candle sticks
occupy her time
And she knows
that secret code
as she sticks and pricks that little doll
for all those people that hurt her so
All day long she sits alone
biding her time
Until she can free herself from those
demons in her mind
She won't tell
that oh so special spell
as she sticks and pricks that little doll
for all those people that hurt so...
you know
Chorus:
Pins and Needles and Voodoo dolls
Pins and Needles and Sticks and Stones
Pins and Needles and Platicine
See them squirm
Hear them Scream
She'll go that extra mile
with her oh so sweet smile
as she she sticks and pricks that little doll
for all those people that hurt her so
All day long she sits at home
biting her tongue
Until she can stand her ground and
speak her mind
She won't tell
that oh so special spell
as she sticks and pricks that little doll
for all those people that hurt her so...
you know
Chorus
She loves him, she loves him not...

Marionette

My makers so proud
Creation for the world
big brown eyes
eye lashes to the sky
gentle and kind
forgiving
sanguine and wise...
I'm a marionette for you
dress me up
put on make up too
parade me around
for your friends to see
pull my strings
just don't let me be...
don't let me go
Hand to hand
I've traveled the world
home to home
they claim me as their own
But now times are changing
the moon receding
deserts abound where
waters once were found...
I'm a marionette for you
dress me up, put on make up too
parade me around
for your friends to see
pull my strings
just don't let me be...
don't let me go
In a trash heap
for no one to see
lonely as can be
what's to become of me
my strings they're all broken
clothes tattered and torn
my varnish is sullen
my hair has fallen
I'm unglued...
I'm a marionette for you
dress me up
put on make up too
parade me around
for your friends to see
pull my strings just do so...
gently

We run we run into the woods
we run we run with cloven hoofs
we run until we
finally leave
We run we run into the woods
we run we run with wings and hoods
we run until we
no longer see
Pleasantville, Pleasantville, Pleasantville
is it so pleasant
Pleasantville, Pleasantville, Pleasentville
it's not so pleasant
Colors swirl in spiral skies
the trees stare back with willful eyes
the night doesn''t frighten me
cast a stone cast an eye
water mirrors never lie
the earth is firm beneath your feet
So dance with me, dance with me, dance with me
we'll dance together
dance with me, dance be free, dance with me,
we'll dance forever
Spin your fire!
Welcome to the land of green
where Ogre's dance and pixies dream
and everyday
is halloween
where spells are cast in circles strong
and children sing children songs
and that's somewhere
we'll never leave
we'll never leave
Dark Carnivale
Dance with me, Carnivale
Dance with me, Carnivale
Carnivale, Carnivale, Carnivale, Carnivale!
