I changed my clothes to black
And men to do my bidding
I changed my style to silver
I practiced all my sainthood
They moved him not at all
I thought I'd be rewarded
And broken bones to teach
And where I would surrender
And I myself decided
For such a lonely choice
My masterpiece unsigned
The shadow of my reach
The value of my pardon
To such a hopeless voice
His nakedness unmanned
I came so far for beauty
But no, I could not touch him
His star beyond my order
I stormed the old casino
What was rotten, what was fresh
I gave to one and all
And maybe he would answer
For the money and for the flesh
My patience and my family
Now I would attack
My patience and my family
I left so much behind
But the rumors of my virtue
With such a heavy hand
