Am7 Em7
Bashee playing magician sitting lotus on the floor,
Am7 Em7
Belly dancing beauty with a power driven saw,
Am7 Em7
Had my share of nightmares, didn't think there could be much more,
C D Em
Then in walked Roderick Usher with the Lady Eleanor!
Am7 Em7
She tied my eyes with the ribbon of a silken ghostly thread,
Am7 Em7
I gazed, with troubled vision, on an old four - poster bed,
Am7 Em7
Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head,
C D Em
Then bid me come a - long with her to the land of the dancing dead!

But--it's al - right, Lady Elea - nor! Al - right, Lady Elea - nor-------!

Am7 Em7
She...gazed with the love and beauty, like a mother to a son,
Am7 Em7
Like living, dying, seeing, being, all rolled into one,
Am7 Em7
Then, all at once, I heard some music playing in my bones,
C D Em
The same old song I'd heard for years, re - minding (a -) me of home!

Am7 Em7
Then...creeping on towards me, licking lips with tongues of fire,
Am7 Em7
A host of golden demons screaming lust, and base desire,
Am7 Em7
And when it seemed for certain that the screams could get no higher,
C D Em
I heard a voice, a - bove the rest, screaming you're a liar!
C D Gmaj7 Cmaj7 C D Gmaj7 Cmaj7
But--it's al - right, Lady Elea - nor! Al - right, Lady Elea - nor-------!
