[00:21.870] I came so far for beauty
[00:26.680] I left so much behind
[00:29.550]
[00:31.430] My patience and my family
[00:34.929]
[00:37.598] masterpiece My unsigned
[00:40.689]
[00:40.877] I thought I'd be rewarded
[00:44.567]
[00:45.317] For such a lonely choice
[00:48.437]
[00:50.877] And surely she would answer
[00:54.688] To such a hopeless very voice
[00:58.137]
[01:07.437] I practiced all my sainthood
[01:11.279]
[01:12.457] I gave to one and all
[01:16.337]
[01:18.457] But the rumours of my virtue
[01:22.527]
[01:24.457] They moved her not at all
[01:28.587]
[01:42.788] I changed my style to silver
[01:46.616]
[01:47.547] I changed my clothes to black
[01:51.866]
[01:53.357] And where I would surrender
[01:57.985]
[02:00.486] Now I would attack
[02:03.617]
[02:16.620] I stormed the old casino
[02:20.860] For the money and the flesh
[02:26.150]
[02:28.470] And I myself decided
[02:32.529]
[02:33.900] What was rotten and what was fresh
[02:37.900]
[02:40.290] And men to do my bidding
[02:43.340]
[02:45.660] And broken bones to teach
[02:49.150]
[02:51.390] The value of my pardon
[02:54.910]
[02:56.350] The shadow of my reach
[03:01.600]
[03:14.800] But no, I could not touch her
[03:18.600]
[03:20.170] With such a heavy hand
[03:23.920]
[03:25.910] Her star beyond my order
[03:30.500]
[03:31.900] Her nakedness unmanned
[03:36.0]
[03:39.350] end
[00:21.870] I  came  so  far  for  beauty
[00:26.680] I  left  so  much  behind
