Step on the stage
|
The lights the praise
|
The curtain calls
|
And the big parade
|
You know that life all too well
|
|
The promise the pain
|
The valor the rage
|
Hold up your hands
|
For the bow and the wave
|
You know his touch
|
A little too well
|
|
You throw yourself
|
Into their arms
|
Mistresses have all the fun
|
But no one's ever there to take you home
|
|
Box up your gloves and your
|
Down coats
|
Bound for the sun and the
|
West coast
|
Where upper crust tragedies abound
|
|
A tip for the girl at the
|
Coat check
|
The guy at the door and the
|
Bar back
|
They know your face
|
Oh so well
|
|
But movies never made you famous
|
All your dreams got lost or traded
|
And all you ever cared about got lost
|
|
But you were surely still an actress
|
Older men would find attractive
|
And all you ever dreamed of was the cost
|
|
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger (x6)
|
|
You throw yourself
|
Into their arms
|
Mistresses have all the fun
|
But no one's ever there to take you home
|
