Snuff Out The Light – Eartha Kitt – letras

When a woman acquires a certain ageAnd the men who adored you no longer swoonIt pays to avoid the sunlit daysAnd live by the light of the kindly moonBut the moon grows old just like us allAnd her beautiful years are doneSo now she prays through endless daysTo take her revenge on the sunWhen I was a girl at my daddy’s sidePapa, the royal morticianRevealed to me in secret signsThe mark of the magicianAnd daddy was no dummyDid outrageous things with a mummyAnd often the stiffs that he would driveWould look better dead than they did aliveI studied well I learnt the tradeI thought my looks would never fadeIf I could find that recipeTo give eternal youth to meIt was always my ambitionTo use papa’s tuitionAnd gain some small remissionFrom the vagaries of timeEvery little ray of sunshine robs me of my youthWho to blame? Who the one? Who to curse?You know the only on to blameWould be my enemy the sunSnuff out the light, claim your rightTo a world of darknessSnuff out the light, neophytesOf a world of darknessSupai baby, turn me onEvery wrinkle soon be goneI could squeeze myself with gleeThe promises you made to meI’ve really stopped at nothingMurder, treachery and lyingWhatever it takes to keep my looksYou really can’t blame a girl for tryingSnuff out the light, claim your rightTo a world of darknessSnuff out the light, neophytesOf a world of darknessSnuff out the light, claim your rightTo a world of darknessSnuff out the light here tonightApparitions of eternal darknessSpiraling in circles through the nightCreatures of beguiling blacknessNo more squinting in the lightBats and owls and coiled sea dragonsCrocodile and carrion beastsSwirling in the growing darknessJoin us in the coming feastSpectre wraith and apparitionSpirit demon phantom shadeSalamander serpents, dog-faced devilsDance and watch the dying sunlight fade
