I can see you from my house
I can see you from my backyard
You're talking to your contacts
You're talking to your pussycat

I can see you from my house
I can see you from my bedroom
Thinking that you're middle class
In your grandmother's looking glass

I'm sure she's an ordinary girl
And she's barely breathing
In and out and in and out and again
She's an ordinary girl
And she's always waiting
On and on and on for someone

I can see you from my house
I can see you from my window
Pulling on your white dress
Nowhere to go, no one to impress

I can see you from my house
I can see you in my camera
You're talking to your mommy
Of apple pie and cotton candy

I'm sure she's an ordinary girl
And she's barely breathing
In and out and in and out and again
She's an ordinary girl
And she's always waiting
On and on and on for someone

Someone to take you down
Someone to burn you out
Someone to run around
Someone who's all about

All about, an ordinary girl
And she's barely breathing
In and out and in and out and again
She's an ordinary girl
And she's always waiting
On and on and on for someone
She's an ordinary girl
And she's barely breathing
In and out and in and out and again
She's an ordinary girl
And she's always waiting
On and on and on for someone
