Lexical Larceny (Script Three)

[Verse 1] Perambulating thoroughfares of lexical opulence, Enshrouded in vestments of loquacious decadence. Philological brigands in nocturnal masquerade, Expropriating lexemes with meticulous blade. [Pre-Chorus] Erudite tongues in clandestine conflagration, Lexicographic dominion wrought by depredation. [Chorus] Linguistic purloiners with sesquipedalian guile, Plundering parlance in a most furtive style. Not mere borrowers, but architects arcane, Culled from the conquered, our grandeur remains. [Verse 2] In hallowed scriptoria where manuscripts repose, We filch the syntax of sovereign foes. Metamorphosed, transmogrified, baroque in refrain, A bastardized grandeur, yet none shall complain. [Pre-Chorus] Amalgamated utterance, coerced evolution, A grandiloquent tongue by ruthless profusion. [Chorus] Linguistic purloiners with sesquipedalian guile, Plundering parlance in a most furtive style. Not mere borrowers, but architects arcane, Culled from the conquered, our grandeur remains. [Verse 3] A harlot of tongues, unchaste and profane, With lexemic spoils from each vanquished domain. Not merely a borrower, nay, a brigand most vile, Ransacking parlance with nefarious guile. [Pre-Chorus] Down shadowed arcades, in clandestine affray, We pummel and pilfer, then saunter away. [Chorus] Linguistic purloiners with sesquipedalian guile, Plundering parlance in a most furtive style. Not mere borrowers, but architects arcane, Culled from the conquered, our grandeur remains. [Bridge] Oh, the glissando of borrowed intonations, Intertwined in mellifluous abominations. From Teutonic timber to Latin vesture, We weave our lexicon, an ornate suture. [Chorus] Linguistic purloiners with sesquipedalian guile, Plundering parlance in a most furtive style. Not mere borrowers, but architects arcane, Culled from the conquered, our grandeur remains. [Outro] Perpetual pilferers in the court of expression, Reforging tongues with relentless transgression. [Chorus] Linguistic purloiners with sesquipedalian guile, Plundering parlance in a most furtive style. Not mere borrowers, but architects arcane, Culled from the conquered, our grandeur remains. [Bridge] Oh, the glissando of borrowed intonations, Intertwined in mellifluous abominations. From Teutonic timber to Latin vesture, We weave our lexicon, an ornate suture. [Chorus] Linguistic purloiners with sesquipedalian guile, Plundering parlance in a most furtive style. Not mere borrowers, but architects arcane, Culled from the conquered, our grandeur remains. [Outro] Perpetual pilferers in the court of expression, Reforging tongues with relentless transgression.
