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