Pacing through the flickering light 
A velvet patch upon his eye 
His pacing creaks the floorboards loose 
As he tailors his thoughts for the truth around truths 
But his butler keeps eyes through a hole in the door 
What the butler don't see ain't a lot that's for sure 
Francesca lays across the couch 
They fight with words from mouth to mouth 
And then with handfuls of her flesh 
See how the zipper broke off of her dress 
Strangling her neck with his hands in her gloves 
The port and the brandy mix cocktails of love 

The porch light, the torchlight 
The frosted morning lawn 
The cloak of daylight has finally been drawn 
On the tale of what the butler saw 

He kept his world all to himself 
And locked it tight inside his belt 
But she preferred his belt undone 
She bathed in his fortune but never his fun 
He cracked on a mixture of opera and drink 
The butler still fetches and carries for him 

The butler dragged down to the lake 
Francesca's body in a cape 
No private eye was gonna trace this 
The old man was shaking, his marbles were missed 
The shadows and footprints and flickering lights 
The butler's up late with a cold in his eye 

The porch light the torchlight the frosted morning lawn 
The cloak of daylight has finally been drawn 
On the tale of what the butler saw
