I came so far for beauty 

I left so much behind 

My patience and my family 

My masterpiece unsigned 

I thought I'd be rewarded 

For such a lonely choice 

And maybe he would answer 

To such a hopeless voice 

I practiced all my sainthood 

I gave to one and all 

But the rumours of my virtue 

They moved him not at all 

I changed my style to silver 

I changed my clothes to black 

And where I would surrender 

Now I would attack 

I stormed the old casino 

For the money and for the flesh 

And I myself decided 

What was rotten, what was fresh 

And men to do my bidding 

And broken bones to teach 

The value of my pardon 

The shadow of my reach 

But no, I could not touch him 

With such a heavy hand 

His star beyond my order 

His nakedness unmanned 

I came so far for beauty 

I left so much behind 

My patience and my family 

My masterpiece unsigned
