Narcissus In A Red Dress |
| What a difference a day makes: where a little girl once stood now sits an empty |
| bass, |
| Cold and shiny, hard and tiny, difficult to wash away… |
| Oh, monsters get created every day. |
| And nothing can prepare you for the day they run away; |
| Your fine tutelage is no longer needed, so you sealed your fate… |
| One minute, she’s your best friend, then you watch her take your place; |
| I guess I taught them all the same… |
| You clever little charlatans — Ambition gleams in overdrive, and I can’t take |
| it… |
| What goes up must come on down — Get your feet back on the ground; |
| Narcissus in a red dress, you’re like all the rest, miss… |
| Blinded by your own reflection, let the lies direct you now; |
| Narcissus in a red dress, you’re like all the rest I’ve known… |
| I know… |
| Behaving like the Virgin Queen, you’re just as damaged underneath, you know; |
| No matter how good your impersonation of me ever grows, |
| Deep down, you know your insides never change. |
| But people love it — that bitten chain was simply lacking taste, |
| They fall for the spell of Lady Macbeth, her calculated grace… |
| But I can see the hunger of compulsion in your face; |
| High school skinny fades away, |
| And you’re just left with Polaroids capturing your 15 minutes — ain’t it great? |
| What goes up must come on down — Get your feet back on the ground; |
| Narcissus in a red dress, you’re like all the rest, miss… |
| Blinded by your own reflection, let the lies direct you now; |
| Narcissus in a red dress, you’re like all the rest I’ve known… |
| I know… |
| Vanity on parade — vacant, frantic and strange, fraught with heartache and |
| desperation; |
| Guess I loved you in vain, consider this song your wake — Lost your head to the |
| elevation… |
| All the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t bring you back again… |
| What goes up must come on down — Get your feet back on the ground; |
| Narcissus in a red dress, you’re like all the rest, miss… |
| Blinded by your own reflection, let the lies protect you now; |
| Narcissus in a red dress, you’re like all the rest, miss… |
| What goes up must come on down — Get your feet back on the ground; |
| Narcissus in a red dress, you’re like all the rest, miss… |
| Blinded by your own reflection, let the lies protect you now; |
| Narcissus in a red dress, you’re like all the rest I’ve known… |
| I know… |
