Opulence from Gilded Republic by Melvin Dovinté

The show was ending
I couldn't shake the itch, I needed something
So I looked in your eyes, 'cause they were staring
and baby, how I wanted to say no...

But my oh my,
you're just my type
I had to come up with some line, aha!
I'll turn you into a star
Just wait and see, why don't you
come with me?

Opulence

I brought you back home
There's no escape, my prey, right where I want you
I tied you up and did all that I had to,
and by the end you were my work of art

Oh, no no no!
Photographs of where we'd gone
have aired themselves out online
You've put me in quite the bind;
if I let you go, I'd be
good as dead!

Opulence

Money and power
Babe, come the next hour
your head will be stuffed in a bin

My dear old friend Kairo,
his girls, they're all shy, oh,
I think I'll let him take the pin

He's come in town with me
Those other girls, missing,
how easy to blame it on him!

I'll pay my boys extra
just so they won't fess up
while I've got some calls to phone in...
