The Naked and Famous
Describes the thoughts of a jealous and bitter admirer, of a girl who carelessly and vicariously lives her life (at least in his view). In the final two verses, she refutes his claims, but his point has already been made and her character shown to be all she was made out to be previously.
[Verse 1: Thom Powers]
Run, whirlwind run
Further and further away into the sun
In twenty minutes
Everyone will remember you when you're gone
And your heart is a stone
Buried underneath your pretty clothes
Don't you know people write songs
About girls like you?
[Verse 2: Thom Powers]
What will you do when something stops you?
What will you say to the world?
What will you be when it all comes crashing
Down on you little girl?
What would you do if you lost your beauty?
How would you deal with the light?
How would you feel if nobody chased you?
What if it happened tonight?
[Verse 3: Thom Powers]
How would you cope if the world decided to
Make you suffer for all that you're worth?
How could you dance if no-one was watching
And you couldn't even get off the floor?
What would you do if you couldn't even feel
Not even pitiful pain?
How would you deal with the empty decisions
Eating away at your days?
[Chorus: Thom Powers]
Don't you know people write songs about girls like you?
About girls like you
About girls like you
Don't you know people write songs about girls like you?
About girls like you
About girls like you
[Bridge: Alisa Xayalith]
Everything you say is fire
All the claims you lay, you liar
Everything you say is fire
See it in the grey, you crier
[Chorus: Thom Powers & Alisa Xayalith]
Don't you know people write songs about girls like you?
About girls like you
Liar
About girls like you
Don't you know people write songs about girls like you?
Everything you say is fire
About girls like you
All the claims you lay you liar
About girls like you
Don't you know people write songs
Everything you say is fire
About girls like you?
See it in the grey you crier
About girls like you
