Commissioning A Symphony In Lyrics

song lyrics Commissioning A Symphony In C lyrics So you ll be an Austrian Nobleman Commissioning a symphony in C Which defies all earthly descriptions You ll be Commissioning a symphony in C With money you squeeze from the peasants To your nephew, you can give it as a present This magnificent symphony in C You ll be commissioning a symphony in C Completely filling the palace concert hall It s warm and golden like an oven that s wide open It has a melody both happy and sad Built on victorious young triads You ve entered the room with great caution Though no one in the hall is even watching They are transfixed They are forgetting just to breath They are so taken by your symphony... In C You re sitting there thinking your thoughts They are not about what is but what is not You are sitting there breathing in your breath You are seldom breathing life but mostly death So you ll be an Austrian Nobleman Commissioning a symphony in C Which defies all earthly descriptions You ll be commissioning... A symphony... In C song lyrics
