| I came so far for beauty | |
| I left so much behind | |
| My patience and my family | |
| My masterpiece unsigned | |
| I thought | |
| I'd be rewarded | |
| For such a lonely choice | |
| And surely she would answer | |
| To such a very hopeless voice | |
| I practiced all my sainthood | |
| I gave to one and all | |
| But the rumours of my virtue | |
| They moved her not at all | |
| I changed my style to silver | |
| I changed my clothed to black | |
| And where | |
| I would surrender | |
| Now I would attack | |
| I stormed the old casino | |
| For the money and the flesh | |
| And I myself decided | |
| What was rotten and what was fresh | |
| And men to do my bidding | |
| And broken bones to teach | |
| The value of my pardon | |
| The shadow of my reach | |
| But no, I could not touch her | |
| With such a heavy hand | |
| Her star beyond my order | |
| Her nakedness unmanned | |
| I came so far for beauty | |
| I left so much behind | |
| My patience and my family | |
| My masterpiece unsigned |
