Pavanne, Cold steel woman, Pavanne.
How do you love a woman?
With eyes as cold as the barrel of her gun,
Who’s never missed her mark on anyone,
Pavanne, Pavanne, Pavanne.
Casino doors swing open, rich men raise their
eyes they say “Who is this beauty�
As elegant as ice, and later there’s an
accident, another charges d’affaires
Is lying in a pool of blood no witness
anywhere.
And they say she was a hundred miles away.
The hotel porter saw her climb the stairs.
And the maid with trembling hands knows what to
say.
When the judge says, “Are you sure?�
“I’m sure,� she swears.
Pavanne, Cold steel woman, Pavanne.
How do you love a woman?
With eyes as cold as the barrel of her gun,
Who’s never missed her mark on anyone,
Pavanne, Pavanne, Pavanne.
At the presidential palace a thousand people
saw
His excellency leave his car and never make the
door.
The blood flow through his fingers as he clutches
at the stain
And staggers like a drunken man lies twisted in
the rain.
And they say she grew up well provided for.
Her mother used to keep her boys for sure.
And her father’s close attentions led to
talk.
She learned to stab her food with a silver
fork.
Pavanne, Cold steel woman, Pavanne.
And they say she didn’t do it for the
money.
And they say she didn’t do it for a
man.
They say she did it for the pleasure.
The pleasure of the moment.
Pavanne, Cold steel woman, Pavanne.
How do you stop this woman?
When everyone is moving through a trance.
Like prisoners of some slow courtly dance.
Pavanne, Pavanne, Pavanne, Pavanne.
