When I was a child
I made a crown
Of silver paper and sticky tape
Adorned it with old Christmas things
To make a crown fit for a king
A secret shared by only me
A world adorned in fantasy
Ruled by me
Rich and free
So smother me in ambergris
Make a perfume out of me
Bergamot and vetiver
Put your face in my bouquet
Inhale me
The dancing marquis
School, it taught me to be grey
To throw all of my dreams away
It didn't have a lot to say to me
I never needed any lesson
(Except the one to put a dress on)
Don't need a priest for my confession
You'll see, you'll see
So smother me in ambergris
Make a perfume out of me
Bergamot and vetiver
Put your face in my bouquet
Inhale me
The dancing marquis
A snake dance of the seven veils
A sailing ship with satin sails
A hermit's hat with seagull wings
I made a crown fit for a king
It didn't have a care or sorrow
Not a care about tomorrow
I never begged or ever borrowed anything
You know why?
'Cause I was king
So smother me in ambergris
Make a perfume out of me
Bergamot and vetiver
Put your face in my bouquet

The dancing marquis
So smother me in ambergris
Make a perfume out of me
Bergamot and vetiver
Put your face in my bouquet
Inhale me
The dancing marquis
I'm a man-star, not a hurry
The dancing marquis
Come on, look at me, look at me
The dancing marquis
Hey, look at me, look at me
The dancing marquis
Come on, look at me
