Death of An Era

Sadie Thompson where have you gone?
Too many Matrix's in my mind
Sadie McKee and Our Dancing Daughters
Our Blushing Brides have left me

Suggestive romance has forsaken me for
poignant lust is present now
He has stolen my love by the Gaslight
We have been bamboozled by the women and hunted by the men

The new one has blackened me by the razors edge of the screen
I confess my distrust of thee
For my very thrust has forsaken all others
Susan and God, when summers die, there is no more for the innocent eye


The Time has passed ,remember the night
the lady's eve has given me fright
Norman Bates double edged true
the shining hour has stolen you
Subtleness is gone!
