Vanity Lyrics by Tarquin Alexandra

Monsters with Moustaches

2019

[Verse]
I just wanna be loved
Don't tell me "I told you, I told you"
That solitude is not enough
My mom's got a friend
And sometimes she tells me, she tells me
About her life, she calls my bluff
[Pre-Chorus]
She says she was raised by burlesque dancers
Monsters with moustaches, darling
I tell her that's the dream
One man's trash is another one's fantasy
But it don't come that easily
[Chorus]
Everything is vanity
I don't know how to tell you what it does to me
And all I see is emerald green
While I'm wading through this shallow sea
[Verse 2]
Oh now my vision is skewed
I don't need another reminder
"The spotlight, it's just not for you"
But passion persists
So bitch and moan 'bout your college degree, oh!
But I just don't have time for it
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I was raised by burlesque dancers
Monsters with moustaches, darling
Don't you know that's the dream?
One man's trash is another one's fantasy
But it don't come that easily
[Chorus]
Everything is vanity
I don't know how to tell you what it does to me
And all I see is emerald green
While I'm wading through this shallow sea
Drag me by the hand and set me free
Safety never was a guarantee
Ready? On the count of three
All that's left of me will be debris
[Bridge]
I'm quaking in my thigh high boots
The things that I would do for you
And vanity is all I see
But to share myself is all I need
Make you feel the way I do
Don't you know I'd sell my soul for you?
I'm quaking in my thigh high boots
Aaah, aaah, aaah
[Chorus]
Everything is vanity
I don't know how to tell you what it does to me
And all I see is emerald green
While I'm wading through this shallow sea
Drag me by the hand and set me free
Safety never was a guarantee
Ready? On the count of three
All that's left of me will be debris
Cause everything is vanity
Vanity
