Absolute Elsewhere Songtext
von Nellie McKay

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 and all consumed by false humility
I never could believe your eyes
Still I′m surprised

For it's the real deal
You start the night here
This is a clear, clear excellent timing
Caught in the rapture
Lost in the silence
Absolute elsewhere
Where's the asylum for the blind?


Thursday morning I pick up the phone
And walk through the door down the hall to the ballroom
Past the servants who beckon and moan
They proffer the floor but my feet keep on falling

I never could believe your face
Young and all consumed by false maturity
I never could believe your eyes
But I pretend wise

For it′s the real deal
You start the night here
This is a clear, clear excellent timing
Caught in the rapture
Enter the violence
Absolute elsewhere
Where′s the asylum for the blind?

For it's the real deal
You start the night here
This is a clear, clear excellent timing
Caught in the rapture
Lost in the silence
Absolute elsewhere
Where′s the asylum for the blind?


In my nightmares monotonously
