Lyrics
The Girl Goes ‘Round<br />
<br />
The boys like her cause she’s easy to love<br />
Soft and dirty little soiled dove<br />
And she dreams of a day when there’s always more than she needs<br />
She leans into doorways, watching the beautiful people, so at ease<br />
<br />
Sometimes it feels like a carnival -- standing in a hall of mirrors<br />
Looking for glimpses of something true -- for the impossibly clearer<br />
<br />
The room begins to spin, illusions slip down . . . <br />
And the girl goes round<br />
The girl goes round<br />
The girl goes round<br />
And the world slows down<br />
<br />
With fleeting beauty of an opened rose<br />
And perfect vision of a faraway town, where nobody knows her <br />
Crumpled up hopes and the slippery slopes where she left her innocence<br />
She doesn’t even need to drink anymore,<br />
She just closes her eyes, and then <br />
<br />
Somehow it turns to a carnival -- standing in a hall of mirrors<br />
Looking for glimpses of something true -- for the impossibly clearer<br />
<br />
Chorus / solo <br />
<br />
Oh, one swift draw and all the world’s a blur. . . <br />
Oh, it’s not like anyone will miss her. . . [Chorus]<br />
