“Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl.”

Context: Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl.

The people who surround her feel the benefit of it —
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm.

“Greta is built in a laboratory! She has the proper face, the proper pigtails, the proper illness, she is properly little… She and all her family settled down forever, but it is evident that they are used. After two days she shook hands with miss Christine Lagarde, who leads the IMF. She is pure laboratory creation.”
