Silver For Gold

O. D. Royale

Silver For Gold


The plugs are being pulled on her 
She is going dim like Hal 
Blown out by an overload 
An O. D. royale 
O. D. royale 

Sinking in the fathom less depths 
Of her piss n' vinegar morale 
Suffering suffocation 
A cat in a sack in the canal 
O. D. royale 

Shaking, aching, quaking, breaking down 
Symptomatic signs of grand mal 
Never no more the 'It Girl' nor the face of L'Oreal 
O. D. royale 

And the world has gone cold 
Like a death row dinner 
'World's gone cold 
Like a death row dinner 
'World's gone cold 
Like a death row dinner 

Those legs have turned to taffy 
Such a fading femme fatal 
Weighted by drop earrings 
And a dose of seconal 
She won't be coming up for air 
She's changing her local 
O. D. royale 

And the world has gone cold 
Like a death row dinner 
'World's gone cold 
Like a death row dinner 
'World's gone cold 
Like a death row dinner 
And the world has gone cold 
Like a death row dinner 
'World's gone cold 
Like a death row dinner 
'World's gone cold 
Like a death row dinner
