Princess Coldheart closed her eyes and waited for
The kiss to snap the chain between her lips
(they waited proud they waited willing
Filed in, failed, and so she killed them)
Sitting on her cutglass throne for 40 years without a phone
Without a single word. (100 thousand would-be suitors
Dead because they couldn’t move her…)
In the courtyard flowers bloomed…
They wrapped themselves ’round tombs and rows of crosses…
Pretty flowers bloom
They pick them and decorate their room. It’s touching. Aah…
Some were daring ; tried the tricks they’d learned in France.
Some would touch her hand
(money signs etched in their eyes…
She sensed it and one by one they died…)
Others chanted poems and even showered her with strange expensive
Gifts.
(she wouldn’t read, she owned the best — she laid their flattery to rest…) In
The courty and etc.
Then, one october night
The humble village fool caught sight of coldheart and he fell…
He smashed a rock against her throne — he snatched her hand and took her
Home.
Happily they lived forever after.
(he wears her chain upon his chest… she even lets him kiss her breast…)
It’s touching
In their garden flowers bloom ;
They pick them and decorate their room. It’s touching. Aah…
