Commissioning A Symphony In C

So you¹ll be an Austrian nobleman
Commissioning a symphony in C
Which defies all earthly descriptions
You¹ll be commissioning a symphony in C

With money you squeezed from the peasants
To your nephew you can give it as a present
This magnificent symphony in C
You¹ll be commissioning a symphony in C

Completely filling the palace concert hall
It¹s warm and golden like an oven that¹s wide open
It has a melody both happy and sad
Built on victorious young triads

You enter the room with great caution
Though no one in the hall is even watching
They are transfixed they are forgetting just to breathe
They are so taken by your symphony in C

You¹re sitting there thinking your thoughts
They are not about what is but what is not
You¹re sitting there breathing in your breath
You are seldom breathing life but most death

So you¹ll be an Austrian nobleman
Commissioning a symphony in C
Which defies all earthly descriptions
You¹ll be commissioning a symphony in C
