lyrics
Jezebel, Jezebel
How ya like the view from down there, Jezebel?
"Things are looking up
as far as I can tell
from the bottom of this well."
Well, well, Jezebel
An hour every day,
the sunshine fills that saucer up above,
then flies away
I suppose, from where you sit,
you gotta make the most of it --
Just because it goes, don't mean it quits!
Jezebel, Jezebel
Everybody's pulling for you, Jezebel
Things are looking up
as far as I can tell
from the bottom of that well.
Well, well, Jezebel
The only antidote
to cure your claustrophobia's a perfumed ransom note
Be sure to act surprised
when no handsome groom replies
by crying out your flying saucer eyes
crying out your flying saucer eyes
And you say
"Hope is just a telescope;
Could I be any clearer?
You're looking at the Universe
by looking in a mirror
Hope is just a telescope
Darling, can't you see?
You ain't gettin' any closer just by looking at me.
You ain't gettin' any closer just by looking at me."
You ain't gettin' any closer....
Jezebel, Jezebel
Where ya gonna go from here, Jezebel?
"I've already gone a long long way
as far as I can tell
if you count the distance that I fell.
If you count the distance that I fell.
If you count the distance that I fell."
