Testo Snuff Out the Light - From "The Emperor's New Groove" / Soundtrack Version - Eartha Kitt
Testo della canzone Snuff Out the Light - From "The Emperor's New Groove" / Soundtrack Version (Eartha Kitt), tratta dall'album Disney Halloween
When a woman acquires a certain age
And the men who adored you no longer swoon
It pays to avoid the sunlit days
And live by the light of the kindly moon
But the moon grows old just like us all
And her beautiful years are done
So now she preys through endless days
To take
Her revenge
On the sun
When I was a girl at my daddy's side
Papa, the royal mortician
Revealed to me, in secret signs
The mark of the magician
And daddy was no dummy
Did outrageous things with a mummy
And often the stiffs that he would shrive
Would look better dead than they did alive
I studied well, I learned the trade
I thought my looks would never fade
If I could find that recipe
To give eternal youth to me
It was always my ambition
To use papa's tuition
And gain some small remission
From the vagaries of time
Every little ray of sunshine
Robbed me of my youth
Who to blame?
Who, the one
Who to curse?
You know the only one to blame would be my enemy the sun
Snuff out the light (Snuff out the light)
Claim your right (Claim your right)
To a world of darkness (To a world of darkness)
Snuff out the light (Snuff out the light)
Neophytes (Neophytes)
Of a world of darkness (Of a world of darkness)
Supai, baby, turn me on
Every wrinkle soon be gone
I could squeeze myself with glee
The promises you made to me
I've really stopped at nothing
Murder, treachery and lying
Whatever it takes to keep my looks
I mean, you can't blame a girl for trying
Snuff out the light (Snuff out the light)
Claim your right (Claim your right)
To a world of darkness (To a world of darkness)
Snuff out the light (Snuff out the light)
Neophytes (Neophytes)
Of a world of darkness (Of a world of darkness)
Snuff out the light (Snuff out the light)
Claim your right (Claim your right)
To a world of darkness (To a world of darkness)
Snuff out the light
Here tonight
(Vespers of eternal darkness
Spiraling in circles through the night
Creatures of beguiling blackness
No more squinting in the night)
Bats and owls and coiled sea dragons
Crocodile and carrion beasts
Swirling in the growing darkness
Join us in the coming feast
Spectre, wraith and apparition
Spirit, demon, phantom shade
Salamander, serpents, dog-faced devils
Dance and watch the dying sunlight fade
