Lyric

High in a tower

Like yours was

But higher

A beauty asleep

All 'round the tower

A thicket of briar

A hundred feet deep

Agony!

No frustration more keen

When the one thing you want

Is a thing that you've not even seen

I found a casket entirely of glass

No, it's unbreakable

Inside, don't ask it

A maiden, alas

Just as unwakeable

What unmistakable agony!

Is the way always barred?

She has skin white as snow

Did you learn her name?

No

There's a dwarf standing guard

Agony

Such that Princes must weep

Always in thrall most

To anything, almost

Or something asleep

If it were not for the thicket

A thicket's no trick

Is it thick?

It's the thickest

The quickest

Is pick it apart with a stick

Yes, but even one prick-

It's my thing about blood

Well, it's sick

It's not sicker than your thing with dwarves

Dwarfs?

Dwarfs!

Dwarfs are very upsetting

Not forgetting

The tasks unachievable

Mountains unscaleable

If it's conceivable

But unavailable

Aah, aah, aah (aah, aah, aah)

Agony! (Misery!)

Woe!

Not to know what you miss

While they lie there for years

And you cry on their biers

What unbearable bliss

Agony that can cut like a knife

Ah, well

Back to my wife

- It's already the end -
