The Distances from Everyone to You - Louis XIV

Everyone around you wants your autograph

Hunting around, placing bids for a backstage pass

Just to pin you up like a photograph

You’re a porcelain doll so fragile that could break so fast

You’re sipping the tea like a porcelain doll

You wanted the world

You wanted it all

You got glass for your eyes

A mouth for your soul

You conquered the world

And then nothing at all

And the distances from everyone to you is a universe

They’re listening to your phonographs

The critics are right in that everyone else is trash

They call you names like a psychopath

The market shop beauty turned you ugly till they make their cash

You’re sipping the tea like a porcelain doll

You wanted the world

You wanted it all

You got glass for your eyes

A mouth for your soul

You conquered the world

And then nothing at all

And the distances from everyone to you is a universe

The word love doesn’t change

The word love doesn’t change

The word love doesn’t change

The word pain doesn’t change

The word love doesn’t change

The word love doesn’t change

The word love doesn’t change

The word love doesn’t change

The word pain doesn’t change

The word love doesn’t change

The word love doesn’t change

The word grief doesn’t change

The word love doesn’t change

The word pain doesn’t change

The word love doesn’t change

The word pain doesn’t change

The word pain doesn’t change

The word love doesn’t change

The word love doesn’t change

The word…

You’re sipping the tea like a porcelain doll

You wanted the world

You wanted it all

You got glass for your eyes

A mouth for your soul

You conquered the world…

And then nothing at all

You’re sipping the tea like a porcelain doll

You wanted the world

You wanted it all

You got glass for your eyes

A mouth for your soul

You conquered the world

And then nothing at all

You found out and then nothing at all
