Look

There's that beautiful girl

With the beautiful life

Such a beautiful life

Built on lies

'Cause all that's required

To live in a dream

Is endlessly closing your eyes

...

She spins such beautiful stories

To sing her to sleep

Full of magic and glory and love

She's the girl in the bubble

The bright shiny bubble

Blissfully floating above

...

Ah, but the truth has a way

Of seeping on in

Beneath the surface and sheen

And blind as you try to be

Eventually

It's hard to unsee what you've seen

...

And so that beautiful girl

With the beautiful life

Has a question that haunts her somehow

If she comes down from the sky

Gives the real world a try

Who in the world is she now?

...

And though so much of her wishes

That she could float on

And the beautiful lies never stop

For the girl in the bubble

The pink shiny bubble

It's time for her bubble to pop

For the popular girl

High in the bubble

Isn't it high time

For her bubble to pop?
