The Charlatans — Oh! Vanity lyrics

Lyrics

When I was a little child
What you’d call a runaway
Find me with a latch and key
Crawling in the dirt
There’s a problem just for me I have a thousand worlds to see
Always one for running wild
and dressing up to be like You
Oh Vanity, Oh Vanity
Will keep me from insanity
This heart of mine would rather die
Than live a life of humanity
And now I’m all grown up to be
A paranoid schizophenic
My friends are all like me and You
I cannot tell em what to do There’s another world to see
Lie down with dogs and you’ll get fleas
When Paris gave her hand to me It felt like an eternity
Now as I feel I’m growing up It’s like a drug
It’s like a drug
Oh promise me Oh promise me You’ll save the one last dance for me
