A Golden Calf and Dancers
A golden calf and dancers
Dancers seek salvation
in the wonder of the wine
Throwing poetry to dogs
and pearls before the swine
Musicians on the stage
playing out their dirty soul
for a golden calf and dancers
as they dance on burning coal
Overhead a blinding light
kills the wisdom of the wise
Noone is pretending
or wearing a disquise
Dancers burn like paper
musicians underpaid
All for fame and glory
and a holy escapade
Night gives birth to daybreak
gods have gone to sleep
Musicians singing softly
as the dizzy dancers weep
