You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family
You're a strange girl, I don't understand your vanity

Your mother's taking pills all day, she's looking to escape
Your uncle's in the County Jail for statuatory rape
Just another runner never made it to the tape

Your cousin gets his kicks setting everything on fire,
your little brother always lets the air out of my tires,
your sister wants to prove that she's an object of desire

You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family
You're a strange girl, I don't understand your fantasy

Your father's a collector and his things are of delight,
he likes cameras and binoculars and everything in sight,
he collects them in a wagon in the middle of the night

Every holiday's a nightmare and it's giving me the chills,
everybody ends up fighting, I remember it still
The only thing that they agree on is that it's me they want to kill

You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family
You're a strange girl, I don't understand your vanity

I think we ought to break up, I could really use the rest
Everything I like you say is something you detest,
but every time I try to leave you say you love me best

I was looking for some mystery, I thought you'd be the girl
I really must admit you were like nothing in this world
I finally got the oyster but I never found pearl

You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family
You're a strange girl, I don't understand your vanity

You're a strange girl, you come from a strange family
You're a strange girl, I think you're headed for calamity
