作词 : Hammill | |
She was waxed up to face the camera like butter wouldn't melt | |
in the back room Agencies hammered out a deal: points on the pelt. | |
In the airlessly frenzied atmosphere she was the mistress of misrule, | |
seeming careless of everything except her look, cooler than cool. | |
And she's singing for her supper and she's dancing in the dark | |
and she's running for her life if she but knew it. | |
And though her heart is hard as stone | |
that's still the flint from which she'll spark... | |
Like a moth to the flame | |
she was so eager to make it | |
her ambition became naked. | |
How iconically arched the eyebrow pluck, how vaselined the lens. | |
Now ironically even highbrow critics rush to her defence... | |
And she's spinning in the spotlight, but increasingly confused | |
about the context that she finds herself wrapped up in. | |
Is it in this skin she's living or in the last one she abused? | |
Nothing quite like a dame, was she the broken or the breaking? | |
The girl, the woman became | |
naked. | |
I preferred her in anonymity, but now that cover's blown | |
and, absurdly, she stars, eponymously cast: it's Salome's show. | |
Oh, be careful what you wish for as your own head might get turned | |
you might find the biter bit before you know it; | |
though ever eager for the spotlight she was never quite ready to be burned. | |
At the end of the game the signature dish will get plated. | |
She'll go out as she came, written in light as her fate is. | |
The moth discovers the flame's | |
naked. |
