A story about the downfall of a porn star
Lyrics
Sound the alarm to face the daily dread You wash your face then pretend it’s all right A resurrection of the living dead You hate the dark but the sun is too bright Then live your morning in the afternoon Another day in paradise is calling too soon You weigh the options when you count the cost Though somewhere in the action you were lost And you cry, you have to live with the mistake You can try; you’ll never run from the mistake Slow sordid angles, the electric eye What little mystery there is to deny? Presents the question for the intellect No such reward for the debt of respect A common harlot at the corner bazaar You never fanaticized that it would carry this far A change of clothing and a change of name Once you began it never was the same Then you cry, you have to live with the mistake If you try, you’ll never pay for the mistake No price for innocence No longer false pretense Completely within reach still no one can embrace you A shrink wrapped fantasy Devoid of dignity She is a golden girl under electric blue Make an appointment with your mother’s shrink For she gets paid to pretend that she’s cares The tanning booth will give you time to think The manicure, then the makeup and hair The leather sofas and the swimming pool Another daytime drama and you’re playing the fool Inside the chasm there’s a giant hole To gain the world you somehow lost your soul
