Meet The New Mozart

Meet the new Mozart
He's in the bed where commerce
Sleeps with art;
Who can blame him?
No pauper's grave this time round
Will claim him

Only days before he died
The Salzburg wonder, prophesised;
'I know one day I will see
A less heartbreaking century.'

'I'll form a band, and play some dates
Reject the music God dictates
All I write may not last
Hell it may be manure
But I'll endure
Not burn out fast.'

Meet the new Mozart
The comeback of the Salzburg wizard
Meet the new Mozart
He's in the bed where commerce
Sleeps with art;
Who can blame him?
No pauper's grave this time round
Will claim him

So much for the divine spark
It flared then left me in the dark
Next time I won't be so pure
Dreaming big, dying poor

Next time round, not so bright
I'll swap a molten core, a starburst for
Candlelight

Meet the new Mozart
The comeback of the Salzburg wizard
Meet the new Mozart
He's in the bed where commerce
Sleeps with art;
Who can blame him?
No pauper's grave this time round
Will claim him

Meet the new Mozart
Who can blame him?
No pauper's grave this time round
Will claim him
