You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family
|
You're a strange girl, I don't understand your vanity.
|
|
Your mother's taking pills all day, she's looking to escape
|
Your uncle's in the County Jail for statutory rape
|
Just another runner never made it to the tape.
|
|
Your cousin gets his kicks setting everything on fire
|
Your little brother always lets the air out of my tyres
|
Your sister wants to prove that she's an object of desire.
|
|
You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family
|
You're a strange girl, I don't understand your fantasy.
|
|
Your father's a collector and his things are a delight
|
He likes cameras and binoculars and everything in sight
|
He collects them in a wagon in the middle of the night.
|
|
Every holiday's a nightmare and it's giving me the chills
|
Everybody ends up fighting, I remember it still
|
The only thing that they agree on is it's me they want to kill.
|
|
You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family
|
You're a strange girl, I don't understand your vanity.
|
|
I think we ought to break up, I could really use the rest
|
Everything I like you say is something you detest
|
But every time I try to leave you say you love me best.
|
|
I was looking for some mystery, I thought you'd be the girl
|
I really must admit you were like nothing in this world
|
I finally got the oyster but I never found the pearl.
|
|
You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family
|
You're a strange girl, I don't understand your vanity.
|
|
You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family
|
You're a strange girl, I think you're headed for calamity.
|
|
(Strange strange) girl
|
(Strange strange) girl
|
(Strange strange) most peculiar!
|
(Strange strange) girl.
