at the first chorus when claire says the word turn, you can hear her head turn.
lyrics
rose taffeta
no one wants to wear it
it's a little stiff
it's a little garish
pin up girl tattoo
you wish you'd never gotten
strangers always notice just when you've finally forgotten
princess t-shirt
you cry whenever you wear it
so strangely painful
not knowing why you're embarrassed
so you line up at the bar
bumping elbows with the key players
you're always in the way
will they ever turn around?
hair pin turn
you're gonna change into nothing
if you figure everybody else out
then you'll understand yourself
so you cut off your old friends
and you cut up all your clothes
thought you'd learn to sew them back together
now you hang out in the back and watch them in a row
look down at your hands and fold up your notes
hair pin turn
you're gonna change into nothing
