40 Years - Then Death lyrics
Song information
Artist: Tism Album: Great Truckin' Songs Of The Renaissance
Lyrics
All that's good, all that's right; Everything hot, all that's tight; Women, men, pubescent girls Never again to finger their curls On their heads so exquisite - Never again to visit The palace, the palace of love
Chorus Forty years of livin' - then death That's all that's left; Forty years - then death Forty years - all that's left
The work, it is just beginin' As my hair, it begins thinin'; Pleasure is past, the end Of all that's dear, as friend And foe alike disappear - Never again to visit The palace, the palace of love
Perfume! the smell of perfume Is forgotten, and the shape of the room And the sheets on her bed Disappear forever from my head No more the sudden thrill As I dip into the swill - Never again to visit The palace, the palace of love
