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 the context of the game

Marguerite Yourcenar I know you.

There's been a funeral in my head

It'

s. taken time but I've recovered

I sill 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 the 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 the context of the game

Marguerite Yourcenar I know you.
