Nancy Dearest
Who needs heaven?
From my ivory tower the view's crystal clear
So I ask you, who needs heaven
When all my messages get sent up here?
And if you need me
I'll be lying down without a darling left to kill
Do you feel me?
Me and the agony I can't conceal
Dearest Nancy dances past me
Dearest Nancy dances past me
Every night caves in
Every echo looks at me askance
Every hole I'm in
Hades hovers over the entrance
And if you ask me
A glance at the past, a mass of bridges burned
If you ask me, see no-one does
Less than heard, less than learned
Dearest Nancy dances past me
Dearest Nancy dances past me (looks right at me)
Gimme a chance to cruel the pitch with the emphasis on cruel
Once too much the crown is left to reinvent the jewel
Successes in inverted commas showing on my face
Incredulous when anybody puts me in my place
Eclipsed by smudges on a hit list I had back in school
Just rid me of my ego and go leave me by the pool
This sycophant's so sick of it I'd wager he's a shill
I've seen the well of emptiness and I have had my fill
Dearest Nancy dances past me
Dearest Nancy dances past me (looks right at me)
Dearest Nancy dances past me
Dearest Nancy dances past me
From my ivory tower the view's crystal clear
So I ask you, who needs heaven
When all my messages get sent up here?
And if you need me
I'll be lying down without a darling left to kill
Do you feel me?
Me and the agony I can't conceal
Dearest Nancy dances past me
Dearest Nancy dances past me
Every night caves in
Every echo looks at me askance
Every hole I'm in
Hades hovers over the entrance
And if you ask me
A glance at the past, a mass of bridges burned
If you ask me, see no-one does
Less than heard, less than learned
Dearest Nancy dances past me
Dearest Nancy dances past me (looks right at me)
Gimme a chance to cruel the pitch with the emphasis on cruel
Once too much the crown is left to reinvent the jewel
Successes in inverted commas showing on my face
Incredulous when anybody puts me in my place
Eclipsed by smudges on a hit list I had back in school
Just rid me of my ego and go leave me by the pool
This sycophant's so sick of it I'd wager he's a shill
I've seen the well of emptiness and I have had my fill
Dearest Nancy dances past me
Dearest Nancy dances past me (looks right at me)
Dearest Nancy dances past me
Dearest Nancy dances past me
