Nellie McKay - Absolute Elsewhere lyrics
[Nellie McKay - Absolute Elsewhere lyrics]
They say minds move mysteriously
Well, I've seen them all
And I still don't believe it
In my nightmares, monotonously
They open the door
Set my heart free from dreaming
I never could believe your face
Young enough to consume my false befitting
I never could believe your eyes
But still, I'm surprised
For it's the real deal
There's nothing I fear this is a clear deal
Excellent I feel caught in the rapture
Lost in the silence absolute elsewhere
Where's the asylum?
Next day morn and I pick up the phone
Walk through the door
Down the hall to the ballroom
Past the servants, who beckon and groan
They proffer the floor
But my feet keep on fallin'
I never could believe your face
Young enough to consume my false befitting
I never could believe your eyes
But, I've been said wise
For it's the real deal
There's nothing I fear this is a clear deal
Excellent I feel
Caught in the rapture into the violence
Absolute elsewhere where's the asylum?
For it's the real deal
There's nothing I fear this is a clear deal
Excellent I feel
Caught in the rapture lost in the silence
Absolute elsewhere where's the asylum?
In my nightmares, monotonously
Well, I've seen them all
And I still don't believe it
In my nightmares, monotonously
They open the door
Set my heart free from dreaming
I never could believe your face
Young enough to consume my false befitting
I never could believe your eyes
But still, I'm surprised
For it's the real deal
There's nothing I fear this is a clear deal
Excellent I feel caught in the rapture
Lost in the silence absolute elsewhere
Where's the asylum?
Next day morn and I pick up the phone
Walk through the door
Down the hall to the ballroom
Past the servants, who beckon and groan
They proffer the floor
But my feet keep on fallin'
I never could believe your face
Young enough to consume my false befitting
I never could believe your eyes
But, I've been said wise
For it's the real deal
There's nothing I fear this is a clear deal
Excellent I feel
Caught in the rapture into the violence
Absolute elsewhere where's the asylum?
For it's the real deal
There's nothing I fear this is a clear deal
Excellent I feel
Caught in the rapture lost in the silence
Absolute elsewhere where's the asylum?
In my nightmares, monotonously
