And the light in your immortal eyes Is the light that'll never die Christened in straight-up ---- And ---- was born in ---- And that was the rise before the fall Everybody sat in the dark, dark, blackest night Everybody wanted to go, but the light was so bright And your shiny face (?) Was gonna lead the way Home-coming like a ******* ---- (?) But the honeymoon was over before you arrived And now they all cursed your name Everybody cursed your name Cold winds of Gotham howled And the princess pawned a celluloid crown in the glass...castle walls (?) And nobody knew your name Nobody knew your name
