What are legs and hands and feet
ugly, pretty, and in between
Her true perfection's are never seen
You glitter girl
You wear them well, yeah you flaunt
your scars
your bitten nails and your voice is hard
Got plastic friends just like your credit
cards in your glitter world, you glitter girl

CHORUS
So tell me what are all the rules for
If some aren't made to break
And tell me what now is the truth if
you've always heard a lie
You always swear the way to land right
on your feet
Is to take that breath of faith and leap


What is grace and style and nerve
Rough and easy with tears to burn
Always speaking out when it's not
your turn
You glitter girl
Got a world of diamonds in your hand
and you toss them up just because
you can
Takes a lot of gloss and shine to stand
in your glitter world, oh you glitter girl

CHORUS

It's that hard earned luck and she shows
just enough to make us want to
touch and understand
And as the callous starts to fade on the
finger where she played to all the boys
and girls who scream her name
Cut rubies with her eyes, shed her skin
instead of cry
Never hear her apologize for what
she's done

CHORUS
