Vanity flaunts and wishes you to see
She wants your attention,
be it in love or disgust

Vanity grins at your glance
She scoffs at your smile
Nothing fills her empty glass,
so she dresses up and spends her cash

Her eyes linger where they should not
Envy invades quickly and harshly
She's found another thing she can't sleep without

Evil is inviting
She's enticed to do dirty things in filthy places
with petty people with pretty faces

She needs to look away from what she desires,
for all the world consumed would not quench her
We've all got things we can't sleep without.

There's a beat to it. I think you nailed a song there. Do you have any friends with experience on guitar? I bet you could swing this into something Jack White would sing.
