She hides the lenses and mirrors in her liquor cabinet
And she repels all that loose change like a magnet
Snap in her face so that she swallows her pills
Since her father was stone and her mother saw skill
Lobbing those insults that make her real pretty
She’s looking for trapdoors to get out of this city
Decades of torture reside on a screen
They covered her bruises with makeup and lights
She wanted to stop at minute fourteen
Someday they’ll pay for their red carpet crimes
In this dull Tinseltown, there is no sound mind
She was just dying to see the bride of day
But secretive comfort gave her nothing to say
Nobody’s eyes dared to speak of her tears
But violent outbursts weren’t the real source of fear
Though they might’ve dropped like flies
There was one born every minute
She knew the machine ran on their unbridled avarice
She knew their glances were judgmental and amorous
From the walls of the soldiers to the linoleum floors
She considered hanging her bloodied rings up on the door
Decades of torture reside on a screen
They covered her bruises with makeup and lights
She wanted to stop at minute fourteen
Someday they’ll pay for their red carpet crimes
In this dull Tinseltown, there is no sound mind
Nothing these posters can’t conceal
Not even that pretty lack of pulse
Then they tore her name down from the lights
But I’ll spare you the details
Decades of torture reside on a screen
They covered her bruises with makeup and lights
She wanted to stop at minute sixteen
Someday they’ll pay for their red carpet crimes
In this dull Tinseltown, there is no sound mind
In this dull Tinseltown, there is no sound mind
In this dull Tinseltown, there is no sound mind
