Bela Lugosi’s Red

White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack

Bela Lugosi’s red
The bats now own the bell tower
The bourgeoisie have fled
Red velvet lines the black box

Bela Lugosi’s red
Bela Lugosi’s red
So red so red so red
So red so red so red
Bela Lugosi’s red

The proletariat file past his tomb
Strewn with time’s dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
The count
