Title: Camera One
|
|
The sandy haired son of Hollywood
|
Lost his faith in all that's good
|
Closed the curtain, unplugged the clock
|
Hung his clothes on the shower rod
|
But he never got undressed
|
And no, he never made a mess
|
|
It's funny how life turns out
|
The odds of faith in the face of doubt
|
Camera One closes in
|
The soundtrack starts
|
The scene begins
|
|
You're playing you now
|
You're playing you now
|
You're playing you now
|
You're playing you now
|
You're playing you now
|
Take a bow
|
Take a bow
|
|
The trophy wife from Palisades
|
Whose yearbook beauty never fades
|
Sits and watches the sea fold in
|
And wonders what might have been
|
If she could ever have the chance
|
Would she do it all again?
|
|
It's funny how life turns out
|
The odds of faith in the face of doubt
|
Camera One closes in
|
The soundtrack starts
|
The scene begins
|
|
You're playing you now
|
You're playing you now
|
|
You're playing you now
|
You're playing you now
|
You're playing you now
|
Take a bow
|
Take a bow
|
|
On the corner
|
By his streets
|
He sits in his lawnchair
|
In the heat
|
Sightseers see
|
What they want
|
They're selling star-maps
|
To the sun
|
|
The sunny-haired son of Hollywood
|
Lost his faith in all that's good
|
Closed the curtain, unplugged the clock
|
Hung his clothes on the shower rod
|
But he didn't get undressed
|
And no, he didn't seem depressed
|
|
It's funny how life turns out
|
The odds of faith in the face of doubt
|
Camera One closes in
|
The soundtrack starts
|
The scene begins
|
|
You're playing you now
|
You're playing you now
|
You're playing you now
|
You're playing you now
|
You're playing you now
|
You're playing you now
|
You're playing you now
|
Take a bow
|
Take a bow
|
Take a bow
|
Take a bow
|
|
