Send Edith Wharton's Figurine Ringtone to your Cell
Edith Wharton's lovely figurines
Still speak to me today
From their mantelpiece in time
Where they wrestle and they play
With pa*sions and with prudences
Finances and fears
Her face, what it's worth to her
In the pa*sing of the years
See the portrait come to life
See the vanity behind
'Cause in the struggle for survival
Love is never blind
Now Olivia lies under anesthesia
Her wit and wonder snuffed
In a routine operation
Her own beauty not enough
Her pa*sions and her prudences
Finances and fears
Her face, what it's worth to her
In the pa*sing of the years
See the portrait come to life
See the vanity behind
'Cause in the struggle for survival
Love is never blind
Edith Wharton's lovely figurines
Still speak to me today
From their mantelpiece in time
Where they wrestle and they play
We lie under anesthesia
Our wit and wonder snuffed
In our routine operations
Our own beauty not enough
