Vanity
All else pail's
To the mask on her face
Vanity is her name
Vanity is her place
She's always behind me
No matter where I go
Constantly on my back
Slightly in the shadows
When I turn my head
And look in the mirror
I can see her face plane and clear
Never a change of emotion
Always steadfast and strong
She's a deeply vain
Who can do no wrong
Half dressed flesh
On a body so fine
She can make a rich man poor
A seeing man blind
A woman's body can be her strongest tool
Satisfying and thirst quenching
Like a natural spring pool
Yes all else pails to the mask on her face
Vanity's her name
Vanity's her place
