(I had a bad habit/ Of missing lovers past/ My brother used to call it/ ‘Eating out of the trash’/ It’s never gonna last/ I thought my house was haunted/ I used to live with ghosts/ And all the perfect couples/ Said, “When you know you know.”/ And, “When you don’t you don’t.”/ And all of the foes and all of the friends/ Have seen it before, they’ll see it again/ Life is a song, it ends when it ends/ I was wrong) – The Life of a Showgirl’s Opalite lyrics.
