Drab Majesty – The Heiress lyrics

[Verse 1]
An ingénue's delight
She can't find anything she likes
Only the finest foods and wines
And satin robes make up her mind
Incessantly

[Verse 2]
I'll reduce your life
I'll make you think about it twice
Incessantly

[Hook]
Oh when the roses turn to grey
I'll know, I'll know, I'll know
Your beauty's bound to be passé
I'll know, I'll know, I'll know
Oh when the dark dissolves to day
I'll know, I'll know, I'll know
Your beauty's like papier-mâché

[Verse 3]
She'll connect the polka dot on her sun dress
Conceited rationale
You run from your only friends
No one believes you
They'll just treat you to cocaine
Your voguish nature and nomenclature
Have an expiry date

[Hook]
Oh when the roses turn to grey
I'll know, I'll know, I'll know
Your beauty's bound to be passé
I'll know, I'll know, I'll know
Oh when the dark dissolves to day
I'll know, I'll know, I'll know
Your beauty's like papier-mâché

[Alternate Hook]
Oh when the roses turn to grey
I'll know, I'll know, I'll know
Your beauty's bound to be passé
I'll know, I'll know, I'll know
Oh when the darkness turns to day
I'll know, I'll know, I'll know
Your beauty's now just a charade

[Outro - x4]
I'll know, I'll know, I'll know
Your beauty's now just a charade
