10,000 Maniacs Arbor Day Lyrics

Wide open falsehood, the clan destine truths
Rival till the end, in a series of duels
Pardon the drapery language I choose
Waltz in Vienna has taught me to use
Every tall room a fiction
Leather bound treasure books, up to the ceiling
Gold spine upon spine
The guile and the treason
The faith and allegiance

Wide open falsehood, the clan destine truths
Rival till the end, in a series of duels
Pardon the drapery language I choose
The author grew fat to imagine
His lead pen careening, gave voice to the scheming
An Aryan cabale to dethrone
The guile and the treason
The faith and allegiance
To the empire unknown

The Baron and his mistress dine in a fine banquet hall
As rebel insurgents plot in the attic s___e crawl

Wide open falsehood, the clan destine truths
Rival till the end in a series of duels
Pardon the drapery language I choose
His small hand did strive, to explain
All the rants and raves of a people enslaved
By the cant of the shrewdest, capable men
The guile and the treason
The faith and allegiance
Now lie in my hand

The guile and the treason
The faith and allegiance
Now lie in my hand
