Libertina Grimm

1. Howitzer glare and spitfire blade
Wooed by Dresden serenades
Her soundtrack now a bombing raid
Bored of Vaudeville.

God was six days sober
On the night that she was born
To the glistening star of a Bible class
An icon now in religious porn.

She was Alice through the glory hole
An ejaculate misconception
Disney-esque, the high priestess
Of greed and deepest dark deception.

All best-to-bury whims
For Miss Libertina Grimm
Libertina Grimm.

She, that little red riding crop
Brer Werewolf at her stocking tops
Beneath the tightened leather strop
Of the Basque of the Houndervilles.

At the stroke of midnight come
She polished verse and hearses
In a poisonous pen dipped in omen
To her surgeon full of general curses.

In the hand of morgue redeemers
Though the dead always pleased her more
Squatting in her coffins
Flirting curtsies to the thirteenth floor.

Tip your hats
For sweet Libertina Grimm.

[Chorus:]
Fantasy and candy stores
Snow White and the seven straws
Smoke and mirrors on all fours
Libertina Grimm.

Her brothers grim, her sisters through
The final dance will be the cue
She amputates to fit the shoe
Libertina Grimm
Libertina Grimm.

2. Mystery kindled in a blackened room
Nine candles lit to improve the gloom
She sees the dark as she feels her womb
Full of hidden secrets.

They haunt her heart, those precious few
Those Count Lestats and Betty Blues
Tortured souls just like me and you
Full of hidden secrets, full of hidden secrets
Full of hidden secrets, full of hidden secrets.

Tip your hats
For sweet Libertina Grimm.

[Chorus x2]

[Coda:]
No, don't go
Don't you leave me here, so alone
Libertina.

No, don't you go
Don't you leave me here, so alone
Where the dead are free to roam.
