Queen of Karori Lyrics

She drives past the mall on her way to the city

She don't rate the girls at the local salon

Drives past the school where she spent every afternoon waiting

And mornings she'd sit by the gate until they were gone

She's got a tiny white dog it cost her a fortune

Barks at her friends and shits on the floor at the vet

(There's no end, there's no end to indignity)

She's got a pink yoga mat in the back of her Audi

(But it's gonna get better)

Helps take her mind off the need for a cigarette

It's such a strange career

The Queen Of Karori

Getting by on half of everything

She'll never shed a tear

Or tell the whole story

She likes to go out but she still wears the ring

She's a perfect 10

In the picture on the dresser

Bottle of booze and a faraway look in her eye

All the sad young men

She permitted to undress her

Now they're just friend requests she's too polite to deny

It's such a strange career

The Queen Of Karori

Getting by on half of everything

She'll never shed a tear

Or tell the whole story

She likes to go out but she still wears the ring

She wonders what's wrong with John and Rebecca

She takes her to lunch but she just stares at her phone

She mentions her lawyer, says nobody's better

Gives her the number and drives home alone
