lyrics

debutantes and smiling faces
that rich and famous feel
porcelain skin of hellenic persuasion
a modern flapper for all men to see
her lips around a peach martini
a flower in her hair
a glance into her smiling face
you wouldn't know that she doesn't care
she spends time in foreign places
no time for tea - reality hangover
she spends timeless moments pacing
'round through her heart looking for answers to love
gillespie blaring from the speakers
(or is it mambo number five?)
she knows it's faux sophistication
but she plays the part that she's calling her life
she dances with the faceless penguins
staring deeply into their eyes
hinting long nights of heated passion
then she drops them for the
next guy in line
another club, another drink
five hundred more fake lines
delivered with utmost sincerity
leaving men thinking that they've found their wife
the dancing's over, the music's stopped
"what do we do now?" she sighs
she picks her "lucky" homme-du-jour
and falls asleep after physical lies
