Gm                Dm
In the half-light, single-traffic light
F                  A#
Where Elizabeth composed herself
Gm
And having done the deed
Dm
She pointed at her sleeve
F                             Gm
And pulled the trigger on the antonym

Chorus:
Gm                         Dm
Release the demon Sylvian fraud tonight
                 F
I see you in my line of sight
                    Gm
Dressed in golden fleece
Gm                               Dm
Please, don't let your children die tonight
             Am
Whatever is wrong or right
                   Gm
Let them sleep in peace

And where the rose converged
Wild foxes on the curb
Poison ivy, poison motherhood
How can I think of this?
The one paralysis
The kiss of Niobe persuaded it

And when our laureate left
She did it for the best
And raised her single wing with confidence
For if she stayed instead
With wildness on her head
She would've killed us without consequence

Chorus:
Release the demon Sylvian fraud tonight
I see you in my line of sight
Dressed in golden fleece
Please, don't let your children die tonight
Whatever is wrong or right
Let them sleep in ease
