suzanne vega - edith wharton's figurines lyrics
edith wharton’s lovely figurines
still speak to me today
from their mantlepiece in time
where they wrestle and they play
with p-ssions and with prudences
finances and fears
her face and what it’s worth to her
in the p-ssing of the years
see the portrait come to life
see the vanity behind
cause in the struggle for survival
love is never blind
now, olivia lies under anasthesia
her wit and wonder snuffed
in a routine operation
her own beauty not enough,
her p-ssions and her prudences
finances and fears
her face, what it was worth to her
in the p-ssing of the years
see the portrait come to life
see the vanity behind
cause in the struggle for survival
love is never blind
edith whartons lovely figurines
still speak to me today
from their mantlepiece in time
where they wrestle and they play
we lie under anesthesia
our wit and wonder snuffed
in our routine operations
our own beauty not enough
