VERSE
C Em C7 E7
Come on in, sweetie-pie! Have an apple, have some lye...
F G C G
Leave your friends, righteous and pathetic, standing at the door.
C Em C7 E7
On the books, all your bets favor head-bands and cassettes,
F G C G
cigarettes, suffragettes, and bores.

VERSE 2
When we moved to the city, it seemed the competition got so much less pretty
but the mirror's never failed you like this before.
So your revenge on the world will be pencils through your curls
and if wanting ever taught you anything, it's wanting more.
(and more and more and more...)
CHORUS
VERSE 3
When that day finally nears, you'll at least have made it clear
that compassion's just a nicer way of looking down your nose.
It seems that all the people want to do is crowd the streets of Amsterdam (Pamplona, too),
but the bulls have already come and gone and bellowed all their lows.
Now nobody knows
then chorus until the end.
