Thanks for listening guys ! Here is the original poem by Ott Lukk and what I condensed it to to get it in a 3min box. it was fun and made me work because I hadn't recorded in over a year.
well, welcome to my parlor, it’s darkened, don’t you see
I’ve got it all arranged, for my fantasies
the couch is made of leather, the lamp a Tiffany
I’ve created an illusion. a world made just for me
I can fantasize a lover, and she’ll play the perfect part
and all will be so easy, for I’ll surely win her heart
welcome to my parlor, welcome!
she will cover me with kisses, make my body sing a song
and I’ll tell my delusions, that they should play along
you’d appreciate the lighting, it isn’t very bright
I try to duplicate, the feeling of the night
my lady is more friendly, if she thinks she’ll have her way
but to me this is the place, where the both of us can play
welcome to my parlor, welcome!
she will cover me with kisses, make my body sing a song
and I’ll tell my delusions, that they should play along
so I dwell on tomorrow, where sweet night will always be
where love is exactly like, I wanted it to be
her smile will surely light her fire, and burn me with its flame
and in our drowning passion, she’ll surely call my name
welcome to my parlor, welcome!
she will cover me with kisses, make my body sing a song
and I’ll tell my delusions, that they should play along
still, I can’t help but wonder, when I look at all that’s here
am I the only one, who’s really ever here
the lighting is so sensual, the lamp has such a glow
but the darkness holds some secrets, that maybe I should know
is the lady an illusion, I can’t really tell
‘cause when I think about her, she’s already cast her spell
she will cover me with kisses, make my body sing a song
and I’ll tell my delusions, that they should play along
I may be living in a fantasy, kissing lips I can not see
but she is such a lovely vision
she’s always here with me!
My version
Welcome To My Parlor
Intro
Welcome to my parlor, it’s darkened, can you see?
I have it all arranged for my fantasies
The couch is made of leather the lamp's a Tiffany
I’ve created an illusion a world made just for me
My lady is more friendly when she knows it is her way
For me this is the place where the both of us can play
Her smile can surely light my fire and burn me with its flame
and in our drowning passion I'm sure she'll call my name
Chorus
Welcome to my parlor where imagination reigns
I tell all my delusions be quiet this is my game
Welcome to my parlor where imagination reigns
I tell all my delusions I am not insane
Instrumental break
The lighting is so sensual the lamp has such a glow
The darkness holds the secrets that only I should know
I can’t help but wonder, when I look at all that’s here
Am I the only one who’s really ever here?
Chorus
Welcome to my parlor where imagination reigns
I tell all my delusions be quiet this is my game
Welcome to my parlor where imagination reigns
I tell all my delusions I am not insane
