IMAGINE WHAT IT IS TO LIVE IN THESE PLACES, SO MANY DAYS, SO MANY NIGHTS, WITHOUT LOVE /
ILLUSION SCENIC AREA

IN THE HOUSE OF HONESTY HER FATHER WAS ON TRIAL
IN THE HOUSE OF MYSTERY THERE WAS NO ONE AT ALL THERE WAS NO ONE THERE AT ALL..

IT SEEMS SO LONG AGO NONE OF US WERE VERY STRONG
OH BUT NANCY WORE GREEN STOCKING & SHE, SHE SLEPT WITH EVERYONE

SHE NEVER SAID SHED WAIT FOR US EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS ALONE
I THINK SHE FELL IN LOVE FOR US IN 1961..IN 1961

& THE MORNING WOULD NOT COME, NANCY WAS ALONE
A FORTY-FIVE BESIDE HER HEAD & OPEN TELEPHONE

YES WE TOLD HER SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL, WE ALL TOLD HER SHE WAS FREE
BUT NONE OF US COULD MEET HER IN THE HOUSE OF MYSTERY..IN THE HOUSE OF MYSTERY

& NOW WHY DONT YOU LOOK AROUND YOU
SEE HER EVERYWHERE

MANY OF YOU USED HER BODY MANY COMBED HER HAIR
& IN THE HOLLOW OF THE NIGHT WHEN YOU ARE COLD & NUMB

YOU HEAR HER TALKING FREELY THEN
SHES HAPPY THAT YOUVE COME, SHES HAPPY THAT YOUVE COME /
