Vanity
I’ll teach you everything that I know now, Eddie
If you really want to take the time
But don’t expect to get answers to anything, Eddie
There is just one thing I’ve learned
Through everything that I’ve done and tried
Everything I have justified
It’s all vanity, all vanity - we try to have control
It’s all vanity, all vanity ‘cause Chaos rules it all
I always drive like a madman, Eddie
But you’ll soon get used to that
I believe if you’re moving fast enough, Eddie
You don’t ever have to watch your back
I choose solid ground to make my stands
I stay off the streets at closing time
It’s all vanity, all vanity - we try to have control
It’s all vanity, all vanity ‘cause Chaos rules it all
Remember how it was out at Bunglass
We climbed up to the peak and stood against the rocks
The photographs came - you couldn’t see us
We were lost against the mountains like specks of dust
And the mirror never lies, it’s just these foolish eyes
And we all see what we want to see
What we need to see, what we have to see
And so will you do just the same one day, Eddie
I’ve been to that place a thousand times
Looked over the edge so many times
Wanted to jump a thousand times
