All this Useless Beauty


                            It's at times such as this she'd be tempted to spit
                            If she wasn't so ladylike
                            She imagines how she might have lived
                            Back when legends and history collide
                            So she looks to her prince finding he's so charmingly
                            slumped at her side
                            Those days are recalled on the gallery wall
                            And she's waiting for passion or humor to strike
