[length: 06:33]
[00:03.84]Now in Vienna there’s ten pretty women
[00:10.35]There’s a shoulder where death comes to cry
[00:15.57]There’s a lobby with nine hundred windows
[00:20.55]There’s a tree where the doves go to die
[00:25.40]There’s a piece that was torn from the morning
[00:30.88]And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost
[00:36.53]Aey, aey, aey, aey
[00:40.96]Take this waltz, take this waltz
[00:46.10]Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws
[00:56.77]Oh I want you, I want you, I want you
[01:01.89]On a chair with a dead magazine
[01:07.11]In a cave at the tip of the lily
[01:12.18]In some hallway where love’s never been
[01:17.71]On a bed where the moon has been sweating
[01:23.25]In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
[01:28.55]Aey, aey, aey, aey
[01:33.15]Take this waltz, take this waltz
[01:38.57]Take its broken waist in your hand
[01:49.57]This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
[01:54.84]With its very own breath of brandy and death
[02:00.28]Dragging its tail in the sea
[02:07.58]There’s a concert hall in Vienna
[02:12.99]Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
[02:18.13]There’s a bar where the boys have stopped talking
[02:23.04]They’ve been sentenced to death by the blues
[02:28.78]Ah but who is it climbs to your picture
[02:33.46]With a garland of freshly cut tears?
[02:39.33]Aey, aey, aey, aey
[02:44.07]Take this waltz, take this waltz
[02:49.33]Take this waltz it’s been dying for years
[02:54.82]
[03:00.26]There’s an attic where children are playing
[03:05.20]Where I’ve got to lie down with you soon
[03:10.37]In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
[03:15.34]In the mist of some sweet afternoon
[03:20.86]And I’ll see what you’ve chained to your sorrow
[03:25.56]All your sheep and your lilies of snow
[03:31.31]Aey, aey, aey, aey
[03:35.10]Take this waltz, take this waltz
[03:41.24]With its, I’ll never forget you, you know
[03:52.33]This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
[03:57.77]With its very own breath of brandy and death
[04:02.93]Dragging its tail in the sea
[04:10.03]And I’ll dance with you in Vienna
[04:15.94]I’ll be wearing a river’s disguise
[04:21.33]The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
[04:26.40]My mouth on the dew of your thighs
[04:31.90]And I’ll bury my soul in a scrapbook
[04:37.19]With the photographs there, and the moss
[04:42.37]And I’ll yield to the flood of your beauty
[04:47.66]My cheap violin and my cross
[04:52.73]And you’ll carry me down on your dancing
[04:57.85]To the pools that you lift on your wrist
[05:03.05]Oh my love, oh my love
[05:07.82]Take this waltz, take this waltz
[05:13.47]It’s yours now, it’s all that there is
