Tell me, tell me why,
they teat me like a seer,
my lips dissolve their cries,
who says to run clear,
call for stolen rights,
demand a veil of tears,
i am a beautiful sight,
candles raise their fears,
bells ring for the night,
joy is my sole conceit,
ask the proud engineer,
fresh from golden sleep,
a woman of dreams,
I walk these city streets,
they scream desolate screams,
will they ring my feet,
slash or burn my ears,
there's no need to entreat,
they love orators here.
