She drives past the mall on her way to the city
She don’t rate the girls at the local salon
Drives past the school where she spent every afternoon waiting
And mornings she’d sit by the gate until they were gone
She’s got a tiny white dog it cost her a fortune
Barks at her friends and shits on the floor at the vet
(There's no end, there's no end to indignity)
She’s got a pink yoga mat in the back of her Audi
(But it's gonna get better)
Helps take her mind off the need for a cigarette
It’s such a strange career
The Queen Of Karori
Getting by on half of everything
She’ll never shed a tear
Or tell the whole story
She likes to go out but she still wears the ring
She’s a perfect 10
In the picture on the dresser
Bottle of booze and a faraway look in her eye
All the sad young men
She permitted to undress her
Now they’re just friend requests she’s too polite to deny
It’s such a strange career
The Queen Of Karori
Getting by on half of everything
She’ll never shed a tear
Or tell the whole story
She likes to go out but she still wears the ring
She wonders what’s wrong with John and Rebecca
She takes her to lunch but she just stares at her phone
She mentions her lawyer, says nobody’s better
Gives her the number and drives home alone
