I Stand on the Marble Balcony
Peak of Idiocy · 1984 · Track 10
I'm standing on a marble balcony
In an aristocratic salon.
I ended up here for the first time,
Ended up here completely by chance — a misunderstanding!
You can feast on caviar and pineapples,
You can peacefully chew the fat.
As the conversation flows, you can down a glass of champagne
With any influential figure.
The evening gowns of socialites
(Oh my God!)
Whose fabric lets the stares slip through
(Ooh!)
The heavy grace of well-kept busts is on full display!
No, I'm not leaving here!
A multitude of artists and poets,
A multitude of private rooms,
Where, without any unnecessary questions,
You can easily retire in silence, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!
The music doesn't hinder the conversation,
(Absolutely not!)
Everyone invites whomever they please.
I'll pick myself a younger partner,
Just a few words, and we're friends!
No need to ruin a wonderful evening,
You didn't come here for nothing!
No point in playing the innocent virgin,
After all, I'm not offering a mere trifle!
