Deborah Conway - Deborah Conway's Nightmare No.347 lyrics

Deborah Conway

Standing like I am all these feet above the crowd

Trying to figure out another way to get back on the ground

I didn't mean to cause a problem didn't mean to lose my way

But now I'm standing on this ledge having a pretty bad day

I'm getting so dizzy when I look down at the street

I don't like my chances of landing on my feet

There's a fire truck siren I hear it far below

All I need is scalpers selling tickets to the show

And of course I'm embarrassed

Of course I'm unprepared

I've probably got no clothes on

And my mother's probably there

Who knows how it happened it's a mystery to me

All of a sudden I'm delivering 'to be or not to be'

I got the cops on a bullhorn trying to keep me calm

While a guy with a straitjacket causally looks on

I was never really worried until I heard the sound

Of an AK47 firing off a couple of rounds

Now I'm basically a shy girl who doesn't like a scene

But oh my God they've called in the marines

Welcome to my nightmare

Welcome to my nightmare

Oh yeah

And then on A&R man suddenly appears

Wants me to be a dance queen to further my career

"Baby you'll be famous you know I could moke you rich"

Then he vanished in a puff of smoke and left me feeling sick

In the meantime what had happened

Was I thought that I could fly

So l grew myself some wings and threw my body to the sky

I never knew what hit me I didn't see a thing

'Twas a 747 en route to Peking
