lyrics

The quiet girl who was already pretty
Got a new haircut
And everybody is loosing their shit
She cut her bangs just like when she was little
She is disappointed
Didn’t have the desired effect
The male attention is already bothersome
She does not like it
It was not her intention at all
Cause she knows
It was a vain attempt to
Get back to a feeling
She had when she was nine
And though her life is reeling
It overwhelms her mind
An innocent emotion
Just sitting in the dark
And bobbing in the ocean
Just waiting for a shark
Now she’s twenty
She’s already looking
Got a ring on her finger
Her Mother breaks into a dance
Her father tells her
Don’t be too hasty
Don’t be too hasty
You know there are plenty of men
Oh, spare me
How will they be different
How will they be different
How can I tell on from another
Cause to her
Es ist Alles Eben
An enormous pressure
Bares down upon her chest
She’s lived all of her lifetime
Does she have to live the rest
She has a little Geuro
She keeps it by her side
It she ever feels it’s safe enough
She’ll let her rip outside
She’s twenty-nine
She’s already tenured
Got a new boyfriend
And everything is going to shit
Said hello during office hours
She remembers dancing
And picnics in the park
Such elegant romancing
But that’s how these things start
He cannot compete yet
The economy’s gone south
That job at Northrup Grumman
Just to keep food in their mouthes.
