Oh! Vanity - The Charlatans

When I was a little child

What you’d call a runaway

Find me with a latch and key

Crawling in the dirt

There’s a problem just for me

I have a thousand worlds to see

Always one for running wild

And dressing up to be like You

Oh Vanity, oh vanity

Will keep me from insanity

This heart of mine would rather die

Than live a life of humanity

(Keyboard Solo)

And now I’m all grown up to be

A paranoid schizophenic

My friends are all like me and You

I cannot tell 'em what to do

There’s another world to see

Lie down with dogs and you’ll get fleas

When Paris gave her hand to me

It felt like an eternity

Now as I feel I’m growing up

It’s like a drug

It’s like a drug

Oh promise me, oh promise me

You’ll save the one last dance for me

Oh promise me, oh promise me

You’ll save the one last dance for me

Oh promise me, oh promise me

You’ll save the one last dance for me

Oh Vanity, oh vanity

You’ll save the one last dance for me

(Keyboard Solo)

Oh promise me, oh promise me

You’ll save the one last dance for me

Oh promise me, oh promise me

You’ll save the one last dance for me
