Lucifer's Palace

and yes i may be burning
but i do know it's my fault
i take full responsibility (your honour)
for these judgements i have made

i can hear the harmonies
floating through Lucifer's Palace
melodies that dance
upon the heat waves
ballerinas, doing a crippled sort of pirouette
in a very beautiful sort of way

Lucifer has his very own Palace
of marble and opal and volcanic rock
it's very dark, and very clean
and it's a place most fear to tread

when i am able
to peel off my armour, then i
will be strong enough to walk that road
and he'll have me in for tea
two sugars please, for me
it tastes so bland without
the presence of the band

when i've got time to choose
between Raggady Anne and the Blues
then i will find him
yes, i'll find him
and i will be proud if he takes my hand
and takes me away

i can face my demons
when i've got my mask on
and when i'm wearing
my sunday dress and my
very best distress

just taking a stroll
down to Lucifer's palace...
(
taking a stroll
into the shadows where my angels always play)

and we have the testimony
of lovely miss mary
sharing small things with her dark side
written in in invisible ink
signed in blood and spirits

yes, i'm just taking a stroll
down to Lucifer's Palace....



a song inspired by Father Lucifer, written by Tori Amos
