And there's flowers on the table
she's lovely, she's lovely not
But circles only make the hunger grow
so she goes out a lot
she's out there just a runnin around
Trying to make up some lost time
Lost time
And she sits down for a social call
Like a princess she puffs on a cigarette
beauty is all threadbare now
But she's never gonna let them forget
Cause my how she looked smashing in her gold lame tank top
With the fancy beadwork on front
The beadwork's on front
But her smile is as faded as a used pair of jeans
And her heart is frayed around the edges
comin' undone at the seams
And it's her last chance to make a statement
It's her last go at the scene
She's a 501 beauty queen
And a voice chimes like a bell in the night
that just don't know when to quit
She used to have more options
Now she wishes that she'd already picked
wishes she couldn't remember
all those things she'll never forget
Never forget.
And the lines they all go deeper than the days of her youth
She flirts and lies and always denies what to her is no longer of any
use
But it's not because she hates what she doesn't understand
She just don't understand
And her fire is as faded as a used pair of jeans
her heart is frayed around the edges
She's comin' undone at the seams
And it's her last chance to make a statement
It's her last go at the scene
She's a 501 beauty queen
