Intro:
What's up there?
An execution again today?
With a harp?
What's up there?
Be quiet, I think, this one wants to tell something!
Part:
Let me tell you about a young man
his golden era and his ruin
All of his friends saw him as a genius
He could balance a piano on his nose
jump faster as his shadow over his shadow
Yeah, he could even make officers without cellars laugh
So entertaining, that they welcome him with an anthem
Present on every celebration, a virtuoso with a drink
liked by all women and one court with desire
Her offer doesn't expire, he just fell for her
All of his friends warned him apprehensive
But youth levity follows the ball, that rolls down the street
His master lives just in his breast and lures with woman's meat
let him do absurd things, yes, or otherwise he will be whipped
All his friends chose distance
Because his heart has ordered him, that the city is on fire
And that man is here tonight!
