Dm Dsus4 Dm Bbmaj7
Fascinating lady, snow flake in the sun
C Dm Dsus4 Dm
You make me feel so bourgeois, Oh you've captured everyone
Dsus4 Dm Bbmaj7
I hear you've been a dancer, at some big deal Paris show
C Dm Dsus4 Dm
Million dollar lovers, neatly saw you to your door
Dm Dsus4 Dm Bbmaj7
Nineteen fifty seven, sweetheart of the year,
C Dm Dsus4 Dm
the secret of your beauty, was your moontan and your fear
Dsus4 Dm Bbmaj7
And now you run this city, still honey to the flies
C Dm Dsus4 Dm
Attract the incrowd dandies, far-a-way look in their eyes
G F C Dm F C G Dm
You're the bright, nocturnal Vanilla Queen, your mask is sterile dignity
G F C Dm F C G7 Dm Dadd9 Dm Dsus4
Tell me why, nocturnal Vanilla Queen, you haunt me even in my dreams
("wake up sugar")
Dm Dsus4 Dm Bbmaj7
It couldn't be avoided, we were bound to meet
C Dm Dsus4 Dm
I knew you would drag me down, and toss me of my feet
Dsus4 Dm Bbmaj7
Sweet moments of desire, sweet moments of relief
C Dm Dsus4 Dm
You blew down my fences, oh, you're natural make believe
G F C Dm F C G Dm
You're the bright, nocturnal Vanilla Queen, your mask is sterile dignity
G F C Dm F C G7 Dm
Tell me why, nocturnal Vanilla Queen, you haunt me even in my dreams
