Lady Grinning Soul Lyrics

She'll drive a beetle car
And beat you down at cool Canasta

And when the clothes...

    Its about a girl who has been hurt, shes setting a subconscious trap for men, doesnt even realise herself what she does, and thinks she doesn't care and cannot love
    . She needs love but cant give herself to anyone anymore. Shes become selfish and self focused and wants adoration but cannot let go emotionally. She wants you to want her

    to consume you, needing you to need her. but is at odds with herself.
