We Are Lions

High heels and short skirts; It's simple but it works
The neon is flickering
"Even sharks learn to swim"
Her parents coundn't care less
Her mother's not holding her breath
Her windpipe's a twisted mess
With more hangups than Picasso.
She's growing older [on the] coldest shoulder
Oh, and if anybody asks you, you never saw her
Such a disappointing and lovely daughter
Free drinks at art shows
She's 15 but looks older
Don't bother with that small talk
She's heard it all before
From doctors and principals
She's always been difficult
The neon is flickering
"Welcome to the Rest Of Your Life Hotel"
It's too bad that tonight the beautiful dance alone
