Esther's been reading books,
She's changed the way that she thinks and the way that she looks
Her coffee is black now and so are her clothes
She's shaved off her hair and put a ring through her nose

Esther's been watching movies,
She must've seen someone that she would like to be,
If it looks like her she could be on the screen,
But she's the worst actor that I've ever seen.

Esther I've known you for ages,
And I've watched you through all the stages,
Esther, we used to be the bester friends,
but now were becoming strangers.

Esther's been buring bridges,
I remember the time that she turned religious,
But soon she turned her back on the church,
And brushed it aside to coninue the search,

'Cos Esther's been searching for something,
She doesn't quite know what it is,
Yes, Esther's been looking for something,
Maybe something that doesn't exist.

Esther's been getting lonely,
After she cut herself off from the only,
People on whom she could depend,
People who were happy to call her their friend.

Esther I've known you for ages,
And I've watched you through all the stages,
Esther, we used to be the bester friends,
but now were becoming strangers.

Oh Esther.
Oh Esther.
