Troublemaker Doppelgänger

Is that a hearse or a limousine?

It’s like I’ve seen it on the TV screen

She had the body of a beauty queen

Put on a pedestal for good hygiene

I saw a girl that looked like you

And I wanted to tell everyone to run away from her

Run away, run away!

It couldn’t have been you but she had your eyes

Made for faking smiles and turning tides

Hands full of young men wrapped around her finger

They made you a throne out of magazines

They made you a crown out of peonies

She grew up as the pretty young thing

Let them look up her skirt on the backyard swing

Oh no

Daddy told you to stay indoors

And I can understand how a girl gets bored

Too old to play and too young to mess around

She was a victim of the same disease

That’s roaming the streets and bites when it please

And makes us wanna live forever or die in infamy

I wanna live in a world where I can keep my doors wide open

But who knows what’d get in and what’d get out

One of these nights, I’ll sleep with the windows down

But not until that creature’s in the pound

No child is born knowing there’s an ugly or evil thing

When did my folks stop covering my eyes?

Was it my brother who taught me about jealousy?

Was it my sister who taught me about vanity?

Was it that girl, that beautiful girl

Thirsty for love and eager for attention

Was it that girl who taught me about destruction?

I wanna live in a world where I can keep my doors wide open

But who knows what’d get in and what’d get out?
