The head of a hunt on the wall by a painting 
An upright piano stood locked by the door 
In through the window 
The light was fast fading 
While I split my whiskey 
All over the floor 
Making a mess of my words so 
I was trying 
To impress the Empress with 
My wimpy tales 
Fanning her face from cigar smoke 
And sighing 
I had come close to be miles 
From her trail 

She was the jewel that 
Sparkled in darkness 
She was the love 
Of everyone's life 
She was the catch at 
Everyone's parties 
She was the one with a tongue 
Like a knife 

Her bosoms curved perfectly 
Lit by the fire 
My mind launched away 
In a sea of its own 
Her grace and her tightness 
I had to admire 
Through a whore's breath of stories 
I happily told 

Trespassing my hand 
Fell into hot water 
She shot like a bullet 
Right out of her chair 
She led me away and I 
Was then slaughtered 
By the warmth of her body 
And her love and care 

Her tongue cut away 
And the wounds slowly opened 
I lay on the sails of the 
Ship of romance 
Drunk as I could be and 
Broker than broken and 
The head of my hunt 
Was there in my hands
