The Lady Vanishes Lyrics

Far away the children play

Building muddy castles in the sun

Oh but that would be too much fun

She's worked out the perfect pout

Practiced in her room alone all day

Now she knows she can always get her way

And in the gloom of that mirrored room

She now prepares the walk, the talk, the smile

Such an innocent little child

Then poses there on the top stair

Seems so very natural to look down

On the people gathering around

And when the lady vanishes

It leaves us so amused

She's getting very good at hiding all the clues

Ooh

If you can't be cool at your own school

What's the point of going there at all

So let's ditch and hit the mall

Where it's understood that looking good

Is all that really matters to the men

And so Barbie gets a Ken

And when the lady vanishes

It's never a surprise

She's only found the way

To hide inside the lies

Ooh, yeah yeah yeah, woah

And the spotlight causes stage fright

And the camera drinks it up like lemonade

She looks better when she's afraid

She's done so well, this pretty shell

She wins the highest prize, perfect 10

So now she has to do it again and again and again and again

'Till her age sets in

And what to do then?

And when the lady vanishes

It seems like such a shame

She's just another fool

Done in by fickle fame

Well that's where we'll place the blame

Yeah, that's where we'll place the blame

The blame, the blame, the blame, the blame

Ooh, yeah yeah yeah, woah
