The girl with the eyes
That crinkle at the sides
That shows she hasn't lost faith in the world just yet.
Don't look at me
I'm not talking about me!
I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly.
And what it boils down to
Is that we're all just ghosts
With our own missed connections
And transparent ambitions.
But that girl with the eyes
That crinkle at the sides
She's got an oyster in a shell,
Waiting for her pearl hotel
Holding on to the idea
That she has a role to fill
But the time will pass
And she'll see that
She's just another ghost with a past.
And when the world has no more girls with the eyes
That crinkle at the sides
I'm convinced we'll all vaporize
And the air will fill with our dusty dreams
And settle to the ground in a thick, ***** film
Then, like a pillow torn at the seams
The cycle will begin again
Starting with white, fluffy hope,
Next comes the question,
Then hits the reality,
And last is the dark, dark feeling that you were wrong all along.
Because, face it...
There is no meaning to life.

The girl with the eyes
That crinkle at the sides
That shows she hasn't lost faith in the world just yet.
Don't look at me

I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly.
And what it boils down to
Is that we're all just ghosts
With our own missed connections
And transparent ambitions.
But that girl with the eyes
That crinkle at the sides
She's got an oyster in a shell,
Waiting for her pearl hotel
Holding on to the idea
That she has a role to fill
But the time will pass
And she'll see that
She's just another ghost with a past.
And when the world has no more girls with the eyes
That crinkle at the sides
I'm convinced we'll all vaporize
And the air will fill with our dusty dreams
And settle to the ground in a thick, ***** film
Then, like a pillow torn at the seams
The cycle will begin again
Starting with white, fluffy hope,
Next comes the question,
Then hits the reality,
And last is the dark, dark feeling that you were wrong all along.
Because, face it...
There is no meaning to life.
