Now in Vienna
there's ten pretty women
There's a shoulder
where Death comes to cry
There's a lobby
with nine hundred windows
There's a tree where
the doves go to die
There's a piece that
was torn from the morning
And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost
Ay Ay Ay Ay
Take this waltz take this waltz
Take this waltz
with the clamp on its jaws
Oh I want you
I want you I want you
On a chair with
a dead magazine
In the cave at the tip of the lily
In some hallways
where love's never been
On a bed where the moon
has been sweating
In a cry filled
with footsteps and sand
Ay Ay Ay Ay
Take this waltz take this waltz
Take its broken
waist in your hand
This waltz this waltz
this waltz this waltz
With its very own breath
of brandy and Death
Dragging its tail in the sea
There's a concert hall in Vienna
Where your mouth
had a thousand reviews
There's a bar where
the boys have stopped talking
They've been sentenced
to death by the blues
Ah but who is it climbs
to your picture
With a garland of freshly cut tears
Ay Ay Ay Ay
Take this waltz take this waltz
Take this waltz it's been
dying for years
There's an attic
where children are playing
Where I've got to lie
down with you soon
In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
In the mist of some
sweet afternoon
And I'll see what
you've chained to your sorrow
All your sheep and
your lilies of snow
Ay Ay Ay Ay
Take this waltz take this waltz
With its I'll never forget you
you know
This waltz this waltz
this waltz this waltz
With its very own
breath of brandy and Death
Dragging its tail in the sea
And I'll dance with you in Vienna
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook
With the photographs there
and the moss
And I'll yield to the
flood of your beauty
My cheap violin and my cross
And you'll carry me down
on your dancing
To the pools that you
lift on your wrist
Oh my love Oh my love
Take this waltz take this waltz
It's yours now It's all that there is
