And raised in a foster home
Her guardian made sexual connection with her
Before she was even grown
When she was fifteen she fell in love
With a boy who had a fast car
But she was timid and withdrawn
So she worshiped him from afar
Still he couldn't help but notice her
She was fatally beautiful
Ever since she was a girl
She was fatally beautiful
She ran away to the city the next year
Disowned out of jealousy
She frightened men with her figure
So they treated here like a sleaze
She lived cross the street from a piss factory
As dark as the sun is bright
The kind where you think you just went blind
When you walk in from the daylight
Still they couldn't help but notice her
She was fatally beautiful
Ever since she was a girl
She was fatally beautiful
She was discovered by a man three times her age
Who worked for a studio
And he bought her dresses and perfume
And moved her into his home
He got her a part in a comedy
Where she played a dumb blond whore
And she posed without clothes for a magazine
And the offers came in by the score
In a restaurant in Brussels she pulls back her hair
Picks up a candle and lights a cigarette
And she's recognized by a tourist
Who can't see her face but knows her silhouette
He imagines her robe as it drops to the floor
He imagines her skin soft to touch
He imagines her naked on silk sheets
The morning she never woke up
Still I couldn't help but notice her
She was fatally beautiful
Ever since she was a girl
She was fatally beautiful
I noticed her
She was fatally beautiful
Ever since she was a girl
She was fatally beautiful
She was born in the back of a thirty four Ford And raised in a foster home Her guardian made sexual connection with her Before she was even grown When she was fifteen she fell in love With a boy who had a fast car But she was timid and withdrawn So she worshiped him from afar Still he couldn't help but notice her She was fatally beautiful Ever since she was a girl She was fatally beautiful She ran away to the city the next year Disowned out of jealousy She frightened men with her figure So they treated here like a sleaze She lived cross the street from a piss factory As dark as the sun is bright The kind where you think you just went blind When you walk in from the daylight Still they couldn't help but notice her She was fatally beautiful Ever since she was a girl She was fatally beautiful She was discovered by a man three times her age Who worked for a studio And he bought her dresses and perfume And moved her into his home He got her a part in a comedy Where she played a dumb blond whore And she posed without clothes for a magazine And the offers came in by the score In a restaurant in Brussels she pulls back her hair Picks up a candle and lights a cigarette And she's recognized by a tourist Who can't see her face but knows her silhouette He imagines her robe as it drops to the floor He imagines her skin soft to touch He imagines her naked on silk sheets The morning she never woke up Still I couldn't help but notice her She was fatally beautiful Ever since she was a girl She was fatally beautiful I noticed her She was fatally beautiful Ever since she was a girl She was fatally beautiful Explain Request ×
