Mighty Brother - Frail Lyrics

She wanted to maintain her youth
So she put it in a plastic cage like a monkey in a zoo
But it thrashed against the walls
'Til it broke through like a waterfall
And shattered on her floor

Oh no, she knows far too well
That life is frail, frail

She wanted to maintain her youth
So she poured it in a holy cup
And called it a grail
But the diamonds broke her nails
When she took it in her aging hand

Because life is
Frail and all things fade away
And beauty fades

Life is frail
And all things fade away
And beauty fades away
Frail

She wanted to maintain her youth
So she put it in a plastic cage
