You were standing on the corner
when it all came crashing down
on your black shoes and your black hat

you pulled your black dress round
i suppose you should feel sorry
but i see you dressed in silk

with a double cappuccino
and it's topped with dry steamed milk
you know i guess you should feel sorry after all

but i'm not crying anymore

well do you forget who you are

when you're the last one in the bar
and then morning unfurls
on the wallflower

yeah yeah
wallflower girl
on the wallflower girl


well you're in and out and up and down and halfway in between
you're holly-go-lightly

yeah i heard you played that scene
well you say that you're an actress
and a painter on the side

and you used to read the tarot cards
but you don't like what you find
but i suppose we both know your future anyway

hey hey hey

now do you forget who you are

when you're the last one in the bar
and then morning unfurls
on the wallflower

yeah yeah
wallflower girl
on the wallflower girl


when you're climbing up a mountainside
well they say it hurts your ears when they pop

that's the price you pay now
for being on top


well the light is turning greener
then my thoughts are ringing true
and the reason that i'm so hard girl i see myself in you

and the mountain tops and the valleys
and the vantage points between
well you used to read the tarot cards

but you don't like what you've seen
but i suppose we both know your future anyway
hey hey hey


now do you forget who you are
when you're the last one in the bar

and then morning unfurls
on the wallflower
yeah yeah

wallflower girl
on the wallflower girl


oooh
ooooh
ahhh
