vanity

you can hear the baby bones crack beneath their wheels

tears of avalon streak silent down her sheild

high crimes and misdemeanors unfortunate attacks

will leave you standing nameless while she is turning back



vanity stands naked at my door

vanity cries why



elenor you've lost me in a haze of wine and cocaine

gone out and cost me everything i blame

broadcast in TV detail to call their own stories

as i try to recapture our best in former glories



vanity stands naked at my door

vanity cries why

vanity wants everything and more

vanity must die



she swears she'll turn around

turn around for good

she swears she'll turn around

turn around for sure

you know you'll run around

run around for her

you know you want to know so pure



ease on that dirt road you've still got a ways to go

soak in sights and city lights while you still can borrow

cursed fall will find you and bring a memory

the ghost of her surrender with the kiss of anarchy



she's naked at my door

vanity cries why

vanity wants everything and more

vanity must die
