Giselle (Lyrics)

[This song's called Giselle and it's about girls who carry switchblades and are very well read.]

giselle is the girl with the scar and the switchblade mind
the girl with the tongue of thorns and rosewater grind
giselle rings a bell so you're thinking that you might have might have met
i think not son 'cause she's one you'd never forget
so cast your pennies in her wishing well
and hope you'd live to tell
(just hope you'd live to tell)
though many may be the number that rang your bell
none cracked it like giselle
(none cracked it like giselle)
none cracked it like giselle
(none cracked it like giselle)

giselle has a flower that blooms and ooh such a smell
seductively fragrant s'imported directly from hell
giselle knows the rules to cricket and speaks chinese
she does coke in front of your mom so elegantly
so cast your last into her wishing well
and hope you live to tell (woo)
(just hope you live to tell)
though many may be the number that ring your bell
none cracked it like giselle
(none cracked it like giselle)
none cracked it like giselle
(none cracked it like giselle)

terribly rude to waiters
overtips like sinatra
quite fond of stiv bators
she drops acid and goes to the opera
her cat has a personal chef
her dog wears a dead mink sweater
her rabbit won't pose for hef
she wears leather whatever the weather

giselle is the cross and the nails and the crown and the thieves
she howls at the streetlights and dances whenever she pleases
giselle is the belle of the ball in play
whether spying for the russians
or rushing to a plane
headed straight to the stage
in an east village cellar
a trans gender bender
another hellen keller
and cast your fish into her wishing well
and hope you'd live to tell
(just hope you'd live to tell)
though many may know the number that rings your bell
none cracked it like giselle
(none cracked it like giselle)
none cracked it like giselle
(none cracked it like giselle)
none cracked it like giselle
(none cracked it like giselle)
none cracked it like giselle (woo)
(none cracked it like giselle)
none cracked it like giselle
(none cracked it like giselle)
none cracked it like giselle
