"The Maestro" lyrics

Presence, elegance, and unmistakable dominance
Behind those steely eyes
Anything you know is coincidence
No one seems to know anything 'bout his age, just his name
He's always dressed for fame
Uh, the Kaiser is the maestro

Let a girl dream a bit
To wear a garment so delish
I'd be out of my mind
Inside his designs
The ultimate can't miss
Give a new ingénue
A gift she can't buy from you
But if I had to pay
I'd sure find a way
To break the bank
I'd break the bank that day

Ladies, his designs make the words fall out of a pantomime
Colors, how they flow, go from avant-garde to beyond sublime
History and mystery, he stops the hands of time
The magic's in his mind
'Cause the Kaiser is the maestro

Let a girl dream a bit
To wear a garment so delish
I'd be out of my mind
Inside his designs
The ultimate can't miss
Give a new ingénue
A gift she can't buy from you
But if I had to pay
I'd sure find a way
To break the bank
I'd break the bank that day

Uh he is a maestro
He is a maestro
Maestro... maestro...

"You must never think that you saw it all. You have always the eyes open, you have to be like a roof with lots of antennas, get all the images. And, you don't say 'I don't like this because it was better before, this is not chic, this is not elegant.' You know, every period has the taste it deserves. Vulgar, not vulgar, we don't know, it's not up to us to be the judge of times."
