Is that a hearse or a limousine?

It's like I' ?ve seen it on the TV screen oh ooh

She had the body of a beauty queen

Put on a pedestal for good hygiene oh oh

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 oh ooh
She grew up as the pretty young thing

Let them look up her skirt on the backyard swing

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

But not until that creature s in the pound
