Edith Wharton's Figurines Lyrics

Lyric discussion by mockingsmile 

Cover art for Edith Wharton's Figurines lyrics by Suzanne Vega

I used to be really into Suzanne Vega in ninth and tenth grade (I'm in my second year of college now) and I saw her do this song live. I should really buy the album because I really thought the song was beautiful and I haven't heard it since.

Anyway, I forget Olivia's last name, but SV said that she was a writer who wrote a book about accepting herself, but she died getting a face lift.
