The Bangles
"Bell Jar"


She walks in the room
And checks out the faces
We think she's all the seven wonders of the world
But there's a sadness
Hidden in the bizarre
Moonlight and madness
Living in a bell jar.

She dresses in black
'Cause sorrow is a magnet
Everything comes to her like it was meant to be
But she's frustrated
Leaving things as they are
What she created
Living in a bell jar.

She seems so at home
She's never alone
But she's oh so lonely
What is the crime
In knowing your mind
Set it free.

Attached to a mirror
In her glass-sided prison
She writes the note that will excuse her from this world (this world)
It's complicated
Living in a bell jar
And she suffocated
Living in a bell jar.

Bell jar
Bell jar.
