Night comes down just like a giant umbrella 

Slows me down, got to get it together 



Saxophone sage plays upon her doorstep 

Evening's lies are dying all around him 



Head of plumes and crimson ostrich feathers 

8th Hussars' manners gush out of my bloodstream, my queen 



Clad in drag of oriental beggar 

Ju-ju beads holding me all together
