"anastasia's clone"



Anastasia had jet-black hair

And her face was the colour of mould

She walked around with a permanent sneer

Her voice and her handshake were cold

Miranda thought she was wonderful

The most beautiful girl ever seen

But Stacey didn't esteem her at all

Looked through her like she wasn't there

How could she be so blind?

Miranda knew they were meant for each other

She'd make her change her mind



Climbing the drainpipe in the dead of night

With her fishnets caught in the screws

Swung in the window with her boots on tight

Not a moment of time left to lose

Miranda knew it was Stacey's room

From the posters of Death on the wall

She laid them out by the light of the moon

On her pillow, a single rose

A poem that told of her need

She rubbed her hands along Stacey's clothes

And went back out the window at speed



She dyed her hair, and she painted her face

She wore silver and crystal and bone	

Of the old Miranda there was little trace

She'd become Anastasia's clone

With the black eyeliner and the velvet dress

But still Stacey's heart was like stone

Miranda sat by the phone

Waiting for Stacey to call

But if you asked her what was she doing		

She wasn't waiting at all



Anastasia was a little disgusted

And more than a little afraid

She decided to use her magic

To deal with this monster she'd made

She made a doll and she filled it with pins

And she sent it to Miranda by mail

And two weeks later the news came in

Miranda had just left town

And that filled Stacey with joy

But there was something she didn't expect

Miranda went with Stacey's boy



She dyed her hair, and she painted her face

She wore silver and crystal and bone	

Of the old Miranda there was little trace

She'd become Anastasia's clone

She was better than the real thing in every way

It was unwise to leave her alone

Now Stacey sits by the phone

Waits for her boyfriend to call

But if you ask her what was she doing

She wasn't waiting at all

Now Stacey sits by the phone

Waits for her boyfriend to call

But if you ask her what was it she's doing

She wasn't waiting at all
