<br>
<br>
THE STORY IS A FAMOUS ONE<br>
NOW WORSHIPPED, NOW DISMISSED<br>
REHEARSED AND TRAWLED FOR MEANINGS<br>
THAT MAY WELL NOT EXIST<br>
THE DEMON AT THE STORY'S HEART<br>
THE CUCKOO IN THE NEST<br>
GIVES LITTLE OF HIMSELF AWAY<br>
WHICH IS OF COURSE WHY YOU WILL STAY<br>
IN CASE HE FALTERS, SHOULD BETRAY<br>
BY WHOM OR WHAT POSSESSED<br>
<br>
THESE ARE THE FACTS OF THE MATTER<br>
THESE ARE THE NAMES IN THE CASE<br>
THIS IS THE STORY, THE PASSION<br>
THE TIME AND THE PLACE<br>
THEY'RE LAID HERE BEFORE YOU<br>
SO JUDGE IF YOU CAN -<br>
THE DEVIL INCARNATE OR<br>
A MISUNDERSTOOD MAN?<br>
<br>
HIS ORIGINS, HIS WAY OF LIFE<br>
HIS MOTIVES - THEY'RE ALL NEWS<br>
NO SHORTAGE OF DETRACTORS<br>
TO AIR THEIR NOISY VIEWS<br>
THE MAN INSPIRES A THOUSAND LIES<br>
THE LOVER TAKES HIS CHOICE<br>
REMAINING COLDLY IN CONTROL<br>
AWARE THAT SADLY, ON THE WHOLE<br>
IT IS THE FOOL WHO BARES HIS SOUL<br>
I'LL GIVE THE MAN A VOICE!<br>
<br>
THESE ARE THE FACTS OF THE MATTER<br>
THESE ARE THE NAMES IN THE CASE<br>
THIS IS THE STORY, THE PASSION<br>
THE TIME AND THE PLACE<br>
THEY'RE LAID HERE BEFORE YOU<br>
SO JUDGE IF YOU CAN -<br>
THE DEVIL INCARNATE OR<br>
A MISUNDERSTOOD MAN? <br>
