Click, Flash, Boom Then it’s just whiskey and burnt-out cigarettes
“Give us a smile!” Give them a smile
Then it’s never being pretty enough, never being perfect enough
Show off the diamonds that glitter on your neck
Then it’s hidden tears in gleaming closets
Show off the gown that flows down to your feet
Illicit affairs just to feel something again
Show off the man on your arm Hollywood, it’s all so glamorous Smile, Wave, Kiss Snake your arm around his waist
It’s All So
Blush when he leans down and whispers in your ear
How dapper do we look? Step into a limousine, still holding his hand Before the door shuts, lean into his lips, The photographers go crazy Then it’s just the two of you Then you pull away from him and he pulls out a flask Then there’s no more cameras, or adoring faces
20
Now, you’re in your bedroom
Now he’s screaming at you, telling you what a piece of shit you are What a dirty, dirty whore you are for looking good tonight
