what do you see in these sounds? she says
with her trademark trenchcoat fluttering in the wind
she almost loses it
she would always say the most profound things

people frozen over their drinks
someone blinks and all is broken
and there's nothing lonlier than the stars she says
and she's just a cheerful girl.

emerald eyes staring off into oblivion
wondering what the flavor-of-the-week will be
and she says maybe all we can do in the end is wonder
and i wonder
and she's just a cheerful girl.

Anne Boleyn was a goddess she says
and Judy was her queen
standing on the waterfront
her questions go unanswered
as she thinks about the changes of the moon
all i can do is watch her sigh she says
and she's just a cheerful girl.

repeating images play in my mind
and purple lights play in the air
let's draw those eyes on our feet she says
and she's just a cheerful girl.

she makes me almost want to believe
and not to be taken as a fool
i want to believe in something
but she's not the one
or is she?
though i don't believe in demons
i'd like to believe in something
but she's not a demon she's just a girl.
