Peroxide Ingenue

Just a child in the House of Tomorrow
Learning how not to be shy
In an effort to reach the ceiling
She wound up touching the sky
Some people tell her that she's too much
Some say not enough
I say I like her the way she is
And if they don't like it, that's tough
Enigma, riddle and puzzle, too
That's my Peroxide Ingenue

She can fool you with her double-acting
Like a debutante and more
But don't turn your back or you'll catch her
Nailing nickels to the floor
You can sell your soul 'cause it's not much
When your life's just a cold, empty dish
But she makes me feel like a child on Christmas
Leaving me nothing to wish
Enigma, riddle and puzzle, too
That's my Peroxide Ingenue

Before I met you, no, I never knew
There was anything that I lacked
But, now that's not true - I know I need you
Believe it, girl, that's the Fact

It's later now and I'm getting closer
I hope that she won't run and hide
If I can't find a reason to make her want me
It won't be as though I never tried
I'll do whatever I have to
To keep it all from being a loss
I'll walk on water, I'll feed five thousand
I'll hang for her on a cross
Enigma, riddle and puzzle, too
That's my Peroxide Ingenue
