Where a little girl once stood 

Now sits an empty base 

Cold and shiny 

Hard and tiny 

Difficult to wash away 

oh, monsters get creative every day. 



And nothing can prepare you for the day they run away 

You'll find too late she's no longer needed 

So you sealed your fate 

One minute, she's your best friend 

Then you watch her take your place 

I guess that taught them all the same 

You clever little charlatans 

Ambition gleams in all the drought 

And I can't take it 



What goes up must come on down 

Get your feet back on the ground 

Narcissus in a red dress 

You're like all the rest, Miss 



Blinded by your own reflection 

Let the lights direct you now 

Narcissus in a red dress 

You're like all the rest, I know. 

I know. 



Behave and like the Virgin Queen 

You're just as damaged underneath 

You know, 

No matter how good your impersonation of me ever grows, 

Deep down you know your insides never change 

But people love it, that bitten chain was simply lacking taste 

They fall for the spell of Lady Macbeth 

Her calculated grace 

But I can see the hunger of compulsion in your face 

High school skinny fades away 

And you're just left with Polaroids 

capturing your fifteen minutes 

Ain't it great? 



What goes up must come on down 

Get your feet back on the ground 

Narcissus in a red dress 

You're like all the rest, miss 



Blinded by your own reflection 

Let the lights direct you know 

Narcissus in a red dress 

You're like all the rest, I know 

I know 



Vanity on parade 

Vacant, frantic, and strange 

Bought with heartache and desperation 

Guess I loved you in vain, 

Consider this song your wake 

Lost your head to the elevation 



All the king's horses and all the king's men 

Couldn't bring you back again 



What goes up must come on down 

Get your feet back on the ground 

Narcissus in a red dress 

You're like all the rest, miss 



Blinded by your own reflection 

Let the lights protect you now 

Narcissus in a red dress 

You're like all the rest, Miss 



What goes up must come on down 

Get your feet back on the ground 

Narcissus in a red dress 

You're like all the rest, miss 



Blinded by your own reflection 

Let the lights protect you now 

Narcissus in a red dress 

You're like all the rest, I know 

I know
