The Like - Narcissus In A Red Dress lyrics

rate me

Where a little girl once stood

Now sits an empty base

Cold and shiny

Hard and tiny

Difficult to wash away

oh, monsters get creative every day.

And nothing can prepare you for the day they run away

You'll find too late she's no longer needed

So you sealed your fate

One minute, she's your best friend

Then you watch her take your place

I guess that taught them all the same

You clever little charlatans

Ambition gleams in all the drought

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 lights direct you now

Narcissus in a red dress

You're like all the rest, I know.

I know.

Behave and 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 fifteen 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 lights direct you know

Narcissus in a red dress

You're like all the rest, I know

I know

Vanity on parade

Vacant, frantic, and strange

Bought 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 lights 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 lights protect you now

Narcissus in a red dress

You're like all the rest, I know

I know
