Rest is hardly ever – Hardly ever sealed in time – The follies raged at
Night – Who's denied? – The furs and feathers and orchids shine on –
Passers by – Then a railway is laid – And the horses are well fed – There's
Lust for a uniform – And a grand parade – The summer guns mark how they

The gallows – The summer guns mark how they lost the belle epoque – The
Railway stays the one way sound of shots – The summer guns mark how they
Lost the belle epoque – The railway stays the one way sound of shots
