Megalomania, Prevailing

--

It is a time in which pretending is key

Megalomania prevailing for you and for me

Red ladies beckon from Mccormick and Second

Silver-tipped canes and lavish, purple presents

Only ice for the peasants

-

Keep your wife locked in a gold little box

While your mistress waits with her thick, auburn locks

And her black negligee and her expose

Of a damsel in distress or a snowstorm in May

-

Death always knocks when company comes

And bourbon shots warm it over for some

Crimson pistols can be wrapped up in silken bows

And be delivered Christmas morning to the people you know

To the people you wish would just leave you alone
