Marguerite Yourcenar

I could easily stay in bed for years

But that was never my ambition

And keep the curtains drawn all day

And watch the children's television

Don't treat me gently I'm still alive

Marguerite Yourcenar in the pocket of my car

Marguerite Yourcenar pushed the realms of truth so far

All the pictures look the same in this corner of the game

Marguerite Yourcenar I know you

There's been a funeral in my head

I't taken time but I've recovered

I still regret those things I said

But there's no point when you're discovered

Don't treat me gently I'm still alive

Marguerite Yourcenar in the pocket of my car

Marguerite Yourcenar pushed the realms of truth so far

All the pictures look the same in this context of the game

Marguerite Yourcenar I know you

And I bought you roses

And I made you better

Pretending to love you turned into obsession

And I felt I'd never end up

Feeling this way

Don't treat me gently...

Marguerite Yourcenar in the pocket of my car

Marguerite Yourcenar pushed the realms of truth so far

All the pictures look the same in this corner of the game

Marguerite Yourcenar I know you

Oh I never never never never never make a promise

I can't keep
