Get a Light

The clothes that I wear

Designer's names I recite like a prayer

At the parties where we'll go

All these people that I don't know

So I smile as I lie

Excusing myself, oh so ladylike

Lock the stall door, lay out a line

And let out a sigh

Get a light

Baby light a fire

Speed along

Until you burn a tyre

The lies I've been fed

And the way I let myself be misled

By your words and mine

And a fear of a life by design

As I walk away

Not a huntress but no longer the prey

Pour another and fill up the ashtray

And smile as I say

The life you had before

It's over and it's gone

And the more you obtained

The less that remained

The dress still on your back

Is it really all that?

And the diamonds you wear

Are they really there?

Get a light

Baby light a fire

Speed along

Until you burn a tyre

Get a light

Baby light a fire

Throw down the match, turn your back

And run for miles
