The Stranglers - The Raven

Baroque Bordello

See a picturesque decay there
Something for time to tell
See the woman of your dreams there
In a baroque bordello
Swing doors and a blind venetian
Keep her in a walnut shell
Has to rub your eyes to bathe you
In a baroque bordello
All the words are written for you
Finds you heaven, finds you hell
Finds your love, but keeps it hidden
In a baroque bordello
Seven days and seven nights spent
Sleeping in a wishing well
Climb her rope and find her trailer
In a baroque bordello

In a baroque bordello

In a baroque bordello

Baroque bordello
Baroque bordello
Baroque bordello
Baroque bordello
Baroque bordello
