it's like a makerover when the filming's
|
|
over and she doesn't know how to fix it
|
|
so that it'll stay and she can't figure
|
|
out how to tease out her hair that way
|
|
herself. and when she wakes up all the
|
|
make-up has rubbed away and she
|
|
doesn't know how to find ger face. it
|
|
was only for one single day that you
|
|
looked so beautiful, baby. now your
|
|
cheekes have gone pale, and you roots
|
|
dark gray. and though they nod as they
|
|
notice you're nice, baby, nobody's
|
|
noticing twice. dim thelights as your
|
|
memory of paradise fades. i'm like an
|
|
architect who cashed his check, but he
|
|
doesn't let on that it's the last one he'll
|
|
get. though he knoew thefunds has
|
|
run dry, he wants to have fun for one
|
|
final night staring out at a skyline that
|
|
he'll never change. they're saying
|
|
"though we like all things that you've
|
|
made notice no one remembers your
|
|
name as you float though time feel
|
|
you powers decline day by day.
|
|
you're like a convert who goes back to
|
|
work when he can't retrieve how the
|
|
clarity actually felt. when his co-
|
|
workers ask hime the words won't come
|
|
out. and in three weeks his new leaf
|
|
has rubbed away and it feels just like an
|
|
average day; facing walls talking into
|
|
the phone, sitting dumbly in curch all
|
|
alone picking back up the magazines
|
|
he'd thrown away. well convert, that
|
|
you got wispered into you ear you
|
|
forgot once that god disappered and
|
|
that life-changing day, you just felt it
|
|
fade, but you know, it's got to fade
|
|
you know it's got to fade" and falling
|
|
down on the couch he says, "it's
|
|
perfectly that way"
