And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

And I don't hear you anymore
We've all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor

Commala-come-key
Can you tell me what ya see?
Is it ghosts or just the mirror

You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away bye bye

Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive

When I think of those East End lights
Muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima donna Lord you really should have been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
