Vanity oh Vanity
We love your pretty face
We're blinded by your beauty
And do not see your mace
For it's not until after
We step back from that face
That we notice all your features
Are marred by selfish grace
But grace is so inviting
And the pleasure so confiding
Why not settle for a while
And stop moving place to place
Vanity oh Vanity
Master of calamity
You make us feel at home
And grant us our desires
But once we get down from your throne
You throw us on the pyre
