In the night The facts fail to alter The disguise She appears like a dream It's a dream There's no waking up from Won't believe A single thing you've seen She must be a prayer 'cause when she walks by All the righteous people bow their heads They all want what she has to give But I know what the reason is No one's asking Don't you call him a Nancy no more Don't you call him a Nancy no more Don't get caught in the lie In a month or two he'll be somebody new And you'll cry Oh Nancy she's out of sight! It's a lust More frequent than failure It's a death Too fantastic too die It's a miracle That grew tired of waiting That's how it feels whenever Nancy walks by It's a storm that was born from a sigh in high heels They all moan as the rumour grows Under the clothes of the men who all know It's a secret that no one can win No one's asking Don't you call him a Nancy no more Don't you call him a Nancy no more Don't get caught in the lie In a month or two he'll be somebody new And you'll cry Oh Nancy she's out of sight! In the night The brink of disaster Feels alright Down 29th street Your heart pounds Along to her footsteps Every stride Is a masterpiece She strikes a match on her hip Stockings run, can't resist Step inside baby it's no sin No one's asking Don't you call him a Nancy no more Don't you call him a Nancy no more Don't get caught in the lie In a month or two he'll be somebody new And you'll cry Oh Nancy she's out of sight!
