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
