Bauhaus :: :: A God in an Alcove



Go and look for the dejected once proud
  Idol remembered in stone aloud
  Then on coins his face was mirrored
  Take a look it soon hath slithered
  To a fractured marble slab, renunciation clad
  His nourishment extract from his subjects
  That mass production profile
  
  He's a God- in- in an alcove
  
  Once he spread the rain
  So they dreamt in vain
  Once he spread the wheat
  Had made garlands for his feet
  Until the lily poet of our times
  Horizoned on the line
  Love became the in theme then
  Opposing fakers thrice by ten
  Don't perceive his empty plea
  That redundant effigy
  
  He's a God- in- in an alcove
  
  Take in view his empty stool
  What's left is satin cool
  Clawing adornment for his crimes
  They saw they had to draw the line
  So they sent him far away
  So they sent him far away
  To a little alcove
  To a little alcove
  All alone
  
  He's a God, a God
  
  Now I am silly
  Now I am silly
  Silly, silly, silly, silly
  Silly
