That's Monica flare for the dramatic oh
So it goes
And in the kitchen there
That's Leonore
Who I adore
Whether I should or not
Well I don't know
And reading the Marquise of O
On the balcony, that's me
Walking in the garden
With Penelope
She says "You may kiss me now
No one will see"
I say "My heart is another's
And that makes me free
Besides I have a hard-won faith
In the eternal Sophie
You think I'd just throw it away
For a little TLC?"
And reading the Answer to Job
Has been good for me
I was just a narcissist, a solipsist, a fantasist
In that old house down by the sea
And reading the Marquise of O
On the balcony, that's me
On the fainting couch That's Monica flare for the dramatic oh So it goes And in the kitchen there That's Leonore Who I adore Whether I should or not Well I don't know And reading the Marquise of O On the balcony, that's me Walking in the garden With Penelope She says "You may kiss me now No one will see" I say "My heart is another's And that makes me free Besides I have a hard-won faith In the eternal Sophie You think I'd just throw it away For a little TLC?" And reading the Answer to Job Has been good for me I was just a narcissist, a solipsist, a fantasist In that old house down by the sea And reading the Marquise of O On the balcony, that's me Explain Request ×
