Lyrics
1) I saw Caprice in the all-night freak show -
she was the queen
Queen Poetry, Queen Mystery
Pre-ch: Saw I, Saw I Caprice (2)
Ch: Tell me: what do you see?
Behind that veil of tatters and tears.
Tell me, tell Caprice, tell me.
2) I saw Caprice, sitting at the counter
she shared with me - on hotel stationary
Transfixing. Transforming.
Pre Ch: Saw I, Saw I Caprice (2)
Ch: Tell me: will love's blanket cover me.
down through the years.
Tell me, tell Caprice, tell me.
3) 2) I saw Caprice, sitting at the counter
she shared with me - Poetry
Queen Mystery
Pre-ch: Saw I, Saw I Caprice (2)
Ch: Tell me: what do you see?
Behind that veil of tatters and tears.
Tell me, tell Caprice, tell me.
