Vanity

Billy Corgan

You can hear the baby bones, cracked 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

Broadcasting in TV detail to call their own stories

As I try to recapture the best and 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 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 we'll find you and bring a memory

The ghost of her surrender and a kiss of anarchy

She's naked at my door, vanity cries, why?

Vanity wants everything and more vanity must die
