Nancy Dearest Lyrics

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
