Deborah Conway's Nightmare #347 Lyrics - Singles - Conway Deborah

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
