The Leopard - Neon Neon

Things have to change just to stay the same

The leopard changed its spots again and again

Too late to save the house of Savoy

Umberto 2 said the last goodbye

In '48 it was time for a change

The referendum marked the end of an age

One house and one millennium

Umberto 1 to Umberto 2 again

The Leopard

To Shepard

The Leopard

In every room of the house in Sicily

They had a leopard on every piece of livery

On all the flags that took delivery

On all the buildings and the burnt out monasteries

Feltrinelli jumped like a jaguar

Typing Olivetti typewriter

A man of letters and an agent of change

Yet the power of pens could not contain his rage

The Leopard

To Shepard
