Lyrics:

Along her vain parade
Along her veins
Huah!

All of seventeen, eyes a purple green
Treated like a queen, she was on borrowed self-esteem

She would do her dance, a painful masquerade
Spinning you into her web along her vain parade

In her uniform of studded brass and steel
Kissing napkin, lipstick stains, and smearing sincerity

Along her vain parade
Along her veins

Heyyyy-ya-la-la-hey-hey

Time crept up on her, she's in early gray
Her reflection looks concerned as flowers hit her grave
