  lyrics: dick
  music: dick/kelly/mosley/rothery/trewavas
  
  to be the prince of possession in the gallery of contempt
  suffering your indiscreet discretions and you ask me to relent
  as you accumulate flirtations with the calculated calmness of the whore
  i am the harlequin - diamonded costume dripping shades of green
  i am the harlequin - sense strangers violate my sanctuary
  prowl my dreams
  plundering your diaries, i'll steal your thoughts innocence
  ravaging your letters, unearth your plots innocence
  to don the robes of torquemada, resurrect the inquisition
  in that tortured subtle manner inflict questions within questions
  looking in shades of green through shades of blue
  i trust you trust in me to mistrust you
  
  through the silk cut haze to the smeared mascara
  a 40 watt sun on a courtroom drama
  and the coffee stains gather till the pale kimono
  set the wedding rings dancing on the cold linoleum
  
  and accusations moths that circle on the light
  char their wings and spiral senseless suicidal flight
  you packed your world within a suitcase, hot tears melt this icy palace
  dissolve a crystal swallowed by the night
  looking in shades of green through shades of blue
  looking in shades of green through shades of blue
