lyrics

Courtesan

Intro
Courtesan you make the man, courtesan you make the man

Verse 1
Everything’s for sale in this broken fairy tale,
rise to fame,
changed her name,
the girl wanted everything,
the girl who had nothing.
Glittering society in place of her dignity
Everything’s for sale

Chorus
Courtesan you make the man,
you are his jewels you are his right hand
Courtesan you make, you ache

Verse 2
Sparkling jewels on the nightstand
This mistress fools her man,
Sickness came, called her name
Her true love comes along
She couldn’t see that his love was so strong
Vultures came, flying in
Taking her everything
What she wouldn’t give for his love

Bridge
When the gates surround her
Has love found her?
White flowers, white flowers
raining on her grave stone
Was this a fair trade? No
White flowers, white flowers

Chorus
Courtesan you make the man,
you are his jewels, you are his right hand
Courtesan you make the man
