Commissioning A Symphony In C Lyrics - Comfort Eagle - Cake

So you'll be an Austrian nobleman 

Commissioning a symphony in C 

Which defies all earthly descriptions 

You'll be commissioning a symphony in C 

With money you squeeze from the peasants 

To your nephew you can give it as a present 

This magnificent symphony in C 

You'll be commissioning a symphony in C 

Completely filling the palace concert hall 

It's warm and golden like an oven that's wide open 

It has a melody both happy and sad 

Built on Victoria's young triads 

You've entered the room with great caution 

Though no one in the hall is even watching 

They are transfixed they are forgetting just to breath 

They are so taken by your symphony in C 

You're sitting there thinking your thoughts 

They are not about what is but what is not 

You are sitting there breathing in your breath 

You are seldom breathing life but mostly death 

So you'll be an Austrian nobleman 

Commissioning a symphony in C 

Which defies all earthly descriptions 

You'll be commissioning a symphony in C
