Wallflower

you were standing on the corner
when it all came crashing down
on your black shoes and your black hat
you pulled your black dress round
i suppose you should feel sorry
but i see you dressed in silk
with a double cappuccino
and it's topped with dry steamed milk
you know i guess you should feel sorry after all
but i'm not crying anymore

well do you forget who you are
when you're the last one in the bar
and then morning unfurls
on the wallflower
yeah yeah
wallflower girl
on the wallflower girl

well you're in and out and up and down and halfway in between
you're holly-go-lightly
yeah i heard you played that scene
well you say that you're an actress
and a painter on the side
and you used to read the tarot cards
but you don't like what you find
but i suppose we both know your future anyway
hey hey hey

now do you forget who you are
when you're the last one in the bar
and then morning unfurls
on the wallflower
yeah yeah
wallflower girl
on the wallflower girl

when you're climbing up a mountainside
well they say it hurts your ears when they pop
that's the price you pay now
for being on top

well the light is turning greener
then my thoughts are ringing true
and the reason that i'm so hard girl i see myself in you
and the mountain tops and the valleys
and the vantage points between
well you used to read the tarot cards
but you don't like what you've seen
but i suppose we both know your future anyway
hey hey hey

now do you forget who you are
when you're the last one in the bar
and then morning unfurls
on the wallflower
yeah yeah
wallflower girl
on the wallflower girl

oooh
ooooh
ahhh
