lyrics
She's been spying on the neighbours
Laughing with all of her friends
Ambitions to be famous
Perfect in all she pretends
Girl of the moment
Belle of the ball
Eyes for the rich man
Fly on the wall
Vanity eyes currency lips
Melt in a rainstorm
Hurts you to bits
Fall off the list
Told it's your own fault
Talks to everyone just to hurt you
Can't you keep hands to herself
Poisoning her perfume
She glows with unnatural health
Man on the mantle
Men on the run
Poster boy placemats
Under the thumb
Vanity eyes currency lips
Melt in a rainstorm
Hurts you to bits
Fall off the list
Told it's your own fault
Say no surprise
Cannot decide
It was the wrong choice
Don't imagine she would notice
If you faded away
You're the monkey on the organ
Dancing to music she plays
Laughing with all of her friends
Ambitions to be famous
Perfect in all she pretends
Girl of the moment
Belle of the ball
Eyes for the rich man
Fly on the wall
Vanity eyes currency lips
Melt in a rainstorm
Hurts you to bits
Fall off the list
Told it's your own fault
Talks to everyone just to hurt you
Can't you keep hands to herself
Poisoning her perfume
She glows with unnatural health
Man on the mantle
Men on the run
Poster boy placemats
Under the thumb
Vanity eyes currency lips
Melt in a rainstorm
Hurts you to bits
Fall off the list
Told it's your own fault
Say no surprise
Cannot decide
It was the wrong choice
Don't imagine she would notice
If you faded away
You're the monkey on the organ
Dancing to music she plays
