Amelia Bright Lyrics by Ben Folds Five

The Best Imitation of Myself: A Retrospective

2011

Hey, something is new
It got into me and I hope that it got into you
The way, like colors like paint
The trumpet's been played
And I hope that it's inside
I hope that it got into you
There's no doubt
Here lies Amelia Bright
In a red 50's dress
From a thrift shop nearby
I laid on the ground and stared at the sky
With Amelia Bright
There's clothes
That are put away
There's me spread
All over the floor
And I'm lost in one place
I'm stuck, and I'm straight
And I hope that you feel the same too
There's no doubt
Here lies Amelia Bright
In a red 50's dress
From a thrift shop nearby
I laid on the grass and stared at the sky
With Amelia Bright
There's no doubt
There's nothing to work out
You're alone
'Cause you're always on your own
When you yawn
It makes me want to yawn, too
Plain, expressionless view
It got into you with a necklace, no shoes
The promise of truth
And a life to be bright and new
There's no doubt
Here lies Amelia Bright
In a red 50's dress
From a thrift shop nearby
I laid on my back and stared at the sky
With Amelia Bright
