On the corner of despair and resurrection It's another perfect day She stops a blind man and she asks him for directions The she walks the other way I know when I see her face Here's such a lonely place for her She can't help but end up lost before she starts She's got a nervous heart On the way down from desire to isolation I pass her on the street She seems to know me but I sense her hesitation And mistake it for conceit Oh we can build these walls Why can't we make them fall Maybe we just don't know where to start She's got a nervous heart Ooh, she could do what she wants with mine Ooh, she's as sweet as turpentine Watching you walk away I felt like I feel today And once again I know that ordinary sadness That keeps us all apart She's got a nervous heart It's just a nervous heart
