lyrics

La la la la la la la.

Do you know the girl on Pine Street?
The one with the blue dye in her hair.
She's always dressed right down to a T.
Tries to act like she don't care.
You can't ask her out on Friday night,
She would rather stay at home,
And just spin records and watch black and white,
Films that make her feel alone.
Listen to her cry and moan,

She's a cynical girl, cynical girl.
She's only happy when she's crying.
She's a cynical girl, cynical girl.
She's only happy when you're down. So down.

You probably knew that she's an artist,
She only tells everyone she knows.
You should know she's also an arsonist.
She sets fires everywhere she goes.
She will set your lonely heart aflame,
And then watch it slowly burn.
And you will wish that she would feel the same,
But forever you will yearn.
Watch now as you toss and turn,

She will never be the one.
You will never win her heart, you should run.
You will never see the sun.
Asking yourself, what have I done?
She's so beautiful, but she will never love you so,

She's a cynical girl, cynical girl.
She's only happy when she's crying.
She's a cynical girl, cynical girl.
She's only happy when you're down. So down.

Cynical girl, won't you set him free?
