through a long & sleepless night - divine comedy lyrics

through a long and sleepless night / i thought upon the jury’s plight
if what is wrong can feel so right / then life’s no longer black and
white
it’s four o’clock and all’s not well / in my private circle of h-ll
i contemplate my navel hair / and slowly slide into despair
this rut has fast become a trench / this smell has turned into the
stench
of rotten dreams and stale ideals / the past is snapping at my heels
oh danny boy the pipes are blocked / with bedtime blues and future shock
i know the best is yet to come / but does it always take this long?
i can put on the perfume, even wear the dress sometimes
but i will always be the bridegroom and never the bride
you deserve to be horse-whipped / but i’ve no horse that joke’s so sh-t
and whips would only make it worse / don’t tempt the lonely and perverse
the casualties of casual s-x / the child of three with x-ray specs
the conman low in self-esteem / the casanova in your dreams
i’ll scream and scream and scream until / i’ve made myself critically
ill
in hospital in case you’re there / in uniform, intensive care
i know you’ll be the death of me / but what a cool death that would be
i’d rather die than be deprived / of wonderbras and thunder thighs
i can put on the perfume, even wear the dress sometimes
but i will always be the bridegroom and never the bride
bored of normality? why not go daft? / it’s easy to do if you try
slide right back down that self-confident path / you’ve just so
laboriously climbed
pickle your liver and addle your brain / live the bohemian life
die young and penniless somewhere in spain / then again you could try
just to live your own life
in the way that you find most amusing / i don’t really care!
i can put on the perfume, even wear the dress sometimes
but i will always be the bridegroom and i will never be the bride
never be the bride
