Deborah Conway - Deborah Conway's Nightmare 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 embarra**ed 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
