Lyrics

[Chorus]
Along her vain parade
Along her veins
[Verse 1]
All of seventeen
Eyes a purple green
Treated like a queen
She was on borrowed self-esteem
[Verse 2]
She would do her dance
A painful masquerade
Spinning you into her web
Along her vain parade
[Verse 3]
In her uniform
Of studded brass and steel
Kissing napkin lipstick stains
And smearing sincerity
[Chorus]
Along her vain parade
Along her veins
[Bridge]
Along her veins
[Verse 4]
Time crept up on her
She's in early gray
Her reflection looks concerned
When flowers hit her grave
Written by: Chris Cornell, Kim A. Thayil
