Absolute Elsewhere
They say minds move mysteriously
Well, I've seen them all, and I still don't believe it
In my nightmares, monotonously, they open the door
Set my heart free from dreaming

I never could believe your face
Young enough to consume my false befitting
I never could believe your eyes
But still, I'm surprised

For it's the real deal
There's nothing I fear
This is a clear deal
Excellent I feel

Caught in the rapture
Lost in the silence
Absolute elsewhere
Where's the asylum?

Next day morn and I pick up the phone
Walk through the door, down the hall to the ballroom
Past the servants, who beckon and groan
They proffer the floor, but my feet keep on fallin'

I never could believe your face
Young enough to consume my false befitting

I never could believe your eyes
But I've been said wise

For it's the real deal
There's nothing I fear
This is a clear deal
Excellent I feel

Caught in the rapture
Into the violence
Absolute elsewhere
Where's the asylum?

For it's the real deal
There's nothing I fear
This is a clear deal
Excellent I feel

Caught in the rapture
Lost in the silence
Absolute elsewhere
Where's the asylum?

In my nightmares, monotonously
