[Verse 1]
From what I heard, she sleeps in the branches, at the top of the sequoia
That she eats oranges and pounds of Kafta
From what I heard, her skin is so white that she blinds the doves
That her smile is weirder than Mona Lisa's

[Chorus]
Poor Élise
She's stuck in a story told about her
Poor Élise
She laid down on the rainbow bed in the dark

[Verse 2]
From what I heard, when we kiss her, she tastes like apples
As if ice cubes had been dipped in rum
From what I heard, she belongs to thе sky who has never seen the sun
That shе loves honey so much that she devours the bees

[Chorus]
Poor Élise
She's stuck in a story told about her
Poor Élise
She laid down on the rainbow bed in the dark
Poor Élise
She's going to end up having an unintended life
[Verse 3]
From what I heard, she interferes in suicidal dreams
That at first, she had entered through the nightmares of people who killed themselves

[Chorus]
Poor Élise
She killed herself in a made up story about her
