Agony (reprise)

High in a tower, like yours was, but higher a beauty asleep
 All round the tower a thicket of briar a hundred feet deep
 Agony
 No frustration more keen
 When the one thing you want
 Is a thing that you've not even seen
 I found a casket entirely of glass, no, it's unbreakable
 Inside, don't ask it, a maiden alas just as unwakeable what unmistakeable
 Agony
 Is the way always barred
 She has skin white as snow
 Did you learn her name?
 No there's a dwarf standing guard
 Agony
 Such that princes must weep
 Always enthrowmost to anything
 Almost
 Or something asleep
 If it were not for the thicket
 A thicket's no trick. Is it thick?
 It's the thickest
 The quickest is pick it apart with a stick
 Yes but even one prick it's my thing about blood
 Well it's sick
 It's no sicker than your thing with dwarves
 Dwarves? dwarves!
 Dwarves are very upsetting
 Not forgetting the task unachievable, mountains unschathable
 If it's conceivable but unavailabe
 Ah ah ah ah ah ah
 Agony
 Misery
 Woe not to know what you miss
 While they lie there for years
 And you cry on their beers
 What unbearable bliss
 Agony
 That can cut like a knife
 Ah, well, back to my wife
