[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:时间戳工具] [offset:0] [00:04.76]It's at times such as this she'd be tempted to spit [00:09.77]If she wasn't so ladylike [00:12.53] [00:14.37]She imagines how she might have lived [00:17.85] [00:18.41]Back when legends and history collide [00:21.58] [00:24.40]So she looks to her prince finding he's so charmingly [00:30.07]Slumped at her side [00:33.16] [00:34.80]Those days are recalled on the gallery wall [00:39.41] [00:40.10]And she's waiting for passion or humour to strike [00:45.17] [00:48.10]What shall we do what shall we do with all this useless beauty [00:57.07] [00:59.04]All this useless beauty [01:03.06] [01:07.20]Good Friday arrived the sky darkened on time [01:12.74]'Till he almost began to negotiate [01:16.90] [01:18.38]She held his head like a baby and said it's okay if you cry [01:25.84] [01:28.62]Now he wants her to dress as if you couldn't guess [01:33.49] [01:34.06]He desires to impress his associates [01:38.74] [01:39.80]But he's part ugly beast and hellenic deceased [01:45.33]So she finds that the mixture is hard to deny [01:51.35] [02:00.65]She won't practice the looks from the great tragic books [02:13.11] [02:22.03]That were later disgraced to face celluloid [02:28.02] [02:29.78]It won't even make sense but you can bet [02:34.91]If she isn't a sweetheart or plaything or pet [02:40.05] [02:41.15]The film turns her into an unveiled threat [02:46.41] [02:49.42]Nonsense prevails modesty fails [02:54.31]Grace and virtue turn into stupidity [02:58.87] [02:59.87]While the calendar fades almost all barricades to a pale compromise [03:08.19] [03:10.70]And our leaders have feasts on the backsides of beasts [03:15.89] [03:19.95]They still think they're the gods of antiquity [03:44.92] [03:48.21]If something you missed didn't even exist
