Smashing Pumpkins - Vanity

you can hear the baby bones
crack beneath her wheels
tears of avalon streak silent down her shield
high crimes and misdemeanours
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'd blame
broadcast in t.v. detail
to color old stories
as i try to recapture
the 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 it all so pure

ease on that dirt road
you've still a ways to go
soak in the sights and city lights
while you still can borrow
'cause fall will 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...die
