Return to the Opera

It's 9 PM on the tenth of October
The deadline approaching
I'm drinking a bottle of wine, maybe two
It haunts me again: Demand!
And when I'll be sober
I know that I will scratch my head
But I've done it for you
You beg to hear
What I've done all those years
And I do it again so you feel my love

Now it's the time you will get what you want
Seven angels reach out for the light
Now's the time you will get what you want
Then, will you leave me alone please?

9:45 and the first part is done
Gabriel and Anna, they trample my head underfoot
Under the Moon on my way to the heart of salvation
Maybe I won't scratch my head, it will ache when I'll
Wake up, you know
I have done this before
And I've done it again
So you feel my love

Now it's the time you will get what you want
Seven angels reach out for the light
Now's the time you will get what you want
Then, will you let me do my thing please?

I admit it didn't hurt
And somehow I did enjoy
Made to order, here it is
From your pizza baking boy

I could do it any time
I'd just have some things to sort
A full length album and I'll sing
A great duet with Betty Ford

Betty, Betty Ford
Betty, Betty Ford
Betty, Betty Ford
Betty, Betty Ford

Now it's the time you will get what you want
Seven angels reach out for the light
Now's the time you will get what you want
Then, will you let me do my thing please
