Vanity Shapes

I heard the rumor

Making its way across the lawn

Always a rumor

The domino soul drags on and on

Breaking away from the sea and sand

Leaving a note that I'll never sign

Writing it down in my human hand

Now vanity shapes my mind

I heard the rumor

Red as the paint out on the door

Who is the plaything

Writhing around on the kitchen floor?

I am the son of suburban cum

Black as daylight and white as night

Moving away from the demimonde

Now vanity shapes my mind

Vanity shapes my mind

Vanity shapes
