1. The Gilded Age II
2. Just a Libertine
3. Viva (reprise)
4. Soft Night Within
5. Cage of Words


--The Gilded Age II--

The Rabbit gentleman gave
peppermint juice to Nurse Jane


--Just a Libertine--

He was just a libertine
Focused on a gilded dream
In an age when no one spoke of self

The paintings and the tapestries
The pride of all society
Millionaire and nabobs set the tone

Pointed roofs and towers soar
Belgian carpet on the floor
Grandiose and spired was the home

--Cage of Words--

Somewhere I'll see you
And somewhere you'll see me
Talk to everyone who stops by
Talk to me

Tell me how you are
And tell me what you know
I want to see you smile
I want you

Our love is an ocean
Our love is a library
With books of devotion
Which only you and I can see

Within this cage of words
My heart sings like a bird
I want to see you smile
I want you
