Harpies Bizarre |
| He selects the plainest face form a spiteful row of girls |
| Elegant insulted women, a flaw of cultured pearls |
| He drops a name or two, she fails to catch |
| At last he’s met his match |
| Unspoiled and unaffected, he wants her so much |
| She puts up half-hearted resistance, like she was taught to do She’s heard some of those small town playboys but this is something new |
| His promise seems dangerous, she’d like to believe |
| He says «You'd better leave» |
| «You've only got yourself to blame, shame, or deceive» |
| The waiting lines are long |
| They never get too far |
| Everyone wearing that medal with pride |
| Harpies Bizarre |
| I looked on but hesitated |
| I failed to interrupt |
| You’re so hard to tell the truth to So easy to corrupt |
| I’ll memorize your face |
| Your tragic smile |
| The hurt look in your eyes |
| As you betrayed yourself to the part of him that dies |
| The waiting lines are long |
| They never get too far |
| They’re shining up their shoes to kick a falling star |
| You think you should be somebody |
| But you don’t know who you are |
| Everyone wearing that medal with pride |
| Harpies Bizarre |
