Bangles The Bell Jar Lyrics

Bell Jar Lyrics

(d. peterson/v. peterson)

 Vicki

 

 She walks in the room

 And checks out the faces

 We think she's all the seven wonders of the world

 But there's a sadness

 Hidden in the bizarre

 Moonlight and madness

 Living in a bell jar

 

 She dresses in black

 'cause sorrow is a magnet

 Everything comes to her like it was meant to be

 But she's frustrated

 Leaving things as they are

 What she created

 Living in a bell jar

 

 She feels so at home

 She's never alone

 But she's oh so lonely

 What is the crime

 In knowing your mind

 Set it free

 

 Attached to a mirror

 In her glass-sided prison

 She writes the note that will excuse her from this world

 It's complicated

 Living in a bell jar

 She suffocated

 Living in a bell jar
