|
She looks pretty good in blue |
|
She's worn it out a lot |
|
You look good on paper too |
|
When actually you're not |
|
She's not looking anymore |
|
For someone to feel sorry for |
|
So don'cha 'round no more |
|
She's got pretty fake eyelashes |
|
Slanted plastic glasses |
|
Everyone who passes |
|
Says she looks beautiful |
|
But don't even think about |
|
Asking her to dance |
|
'Cause in your sackcloth and ashes |
|
You're never gonna have a chance |
|
Sackcloth and ashes... |
|
She smeared you with her fingerprints |
|
Just because she could |
|
She's not sorry for her sins |
|
As long as she looks good |
|
How can she have so much fun |
|
Knowing all the things she's done? |
|
She's bad |
|
She's strong |
|
Or maybe she's stupid |
|
But she's got pretty party dresses |
|
Manic-panic tresses |
|
She believes that less is more |
|
Where you're concerned |
|
But you can only dream about |
|
The places that she's been |
|
'Cause in your sackcloth and ashes |
|
They're never gonna let you in |
|
One day, maybe, you'll be way beyond |
|
This silly habit you've put on |
|
Tough and strong enough |
|
And wrong, and wrong enough |
|
For long enough |
|
To belong there |
|
But 'til that day comes along |
|
You'll be sullen and regretful |
|
Querulous and fretful |
|
Carrying a head full |
|
Of evil thoughts |
|
And there'll be lots of girls and people |
|
Who want to know where you stand |
|
But in your sackcloth and ashes |
|
You'll never make them understand |
|
Sackcloth and ashes |
|
Sackcloth and ashes |
|
Sackcloth and ashes |
|
They're never gonna understand |
