Vanity

Original Lyrics

You can hear the baby bones

Crack beneath her wheels

Tears of avalon

Streak silent down her shield

High crimes and misdemeanors

Unfortunate attacks

Will leave you standing nameless

While she’s turning black

Vanity stands naked at my door

Vanity cries, why?

Eleanor, 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 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

Die
