Agony (Reprise)
High in a tower, like yours was, but higher a beauty asleep
all round the tower a thicket of briar a hundred feet deep
Agony
no frustration more keen
when the one thing you want
is a thing that you've not even seen
I found a casket entirely of glass, no, it's unbreakable
inside, don't ask it, a maiden alas just as unwakeable what unmistakeable
agony
is the way always barred
she has skin white as snow
Did you learn her name?
no there's a dwarf standing guard
agony
such that princes must weep
always enthrowmost to anything
almost
or something asleep
if it were not for the thicket
a thicket's no trick. Is it thick?
It's the thickest
the quickest is pick it apart with a stick
yes but even one prick it's my thing about blood
well it's sick
it's no sicker than your thing with dwarves
dwarves? dwarves!
Dwarves are very upsetting
not forgetting the task unachievable, mountains unschathable
if it's conceivable but unavailabe
ah ah ah ah ah ah
agony
misery
woe not to know what you miss
while they lie there for years
and you cry on their beers
what unbearable bliss
agony
that can cut like a knife
ah, well, back to my wife
all round the tower a thicket of briar a hundred feet deep
Agony
no frustration more keen
when the one thing you want
is a thing that you've not even seen
I found a casket entirely of glass, no, it's unbreakable
inside, don't ask it, a maiden alas just as unwakeable what unmistakeable
agony
is the way always barred
she has skin white as snow
Did you learn her name?
no there's a dwarf standing guard
agony
such that princes must weep
always enthrowmost to anything
almost
or something asleep
if it were not for the thicket
a thicket's no trick. Is it thick?
It's the thickest
the quickest is pick it apart with a stick
yes but even one prick it's my thing about blood
well it's sick
it's no sicker than your thing with dwarves
dwarves? dwarves!
Dwarves are very upsetting
not forgetting the task unachievable, mountains unschathable
if it's conceivable but unavailabe
ah ah ah ah ah ah
agony
misery
woe not to know what you miss
while they lie there for years
and you cry on their beers
what unbearable bliss
agony
that can cut like a knife
ah, well, back to my wife
