So the gun is fully loaded and the tragedy begins
as the pretty little princess rises from her deathly grave.
The mirror doesn't lie, so why does she bother
trying to erase his memory.
God Forbid something go wrong
in this tale of woe- it's bleeding imperfection
But this picture perfect tale must go on
even as she weeps by the edge of the apron.
Cigarette burns and alcohol
they only make her feel hollow-
not that it really matters to the whores
as they laugh from the position off stage.
The drugs in hand-
Oh Isn't she just beautiful in her destruction-
the girl begins to falter from her set,
the managers are panicking
(What's the star going to do now?)
"ATTENTION ATTENTION
MAY WE DIVERT YOUR ATTENTION"
Come the bellows from the Narrator-
as the girl diverts from the script...
Well.. It's the start of a brand new play.
Let's title it desperation in action
where all the glitter whores get their dues
and the pretty little princess...
let us simply state that she'll finally have her way.
