They said that Hollywood was never gonna be the same without you |
|
Still, you're gone |
|
How could we forget that face and all that silver flickering grace |
|
That died with the silent age? |
|
And everybody knew your name |
|
They all knew your name |
|
Born wild like a pretty flower |
|
She was sewn by the wind and blown for miles |
|
Kansas couldn't keep the child |
|
Hell-bound for the great white wave |
|
For the tall ---- body, burlesque stage, and |
|
Wichita was miles and miles away |
|
Everybody knew your name |
|
Everybody knew your name |
|
They knew your name |
|
So you burn the candle |
|
Burned it at both ends |
|
So love ends in scandal |
|
Burned it brief (?) |
|
You burned it bright (?) |
|
And the light in your immortal eyes |
|
Is the light that'll never die |
|
Christened in straight-up ---- |
|
And ---- was born in ---- |
|
And that was the rise before the fall |
|
Everybody sat in the dark, dark, blackest night |
|
Everybody wanted to go, but the light was so bright |
|
And your shiny face (?) |
|
Was gonna lead the way |
|
Home-coming like a heroine ---- (?) |
|
But the honeymoon was over before you arrived |
|
And now they all cursed your name |
|
Everybody cursed your name |
|
Cold winds of Gotham howled |
|
And the princess pawned a celluloid crown in the glass...castle walls (?) |
|
And nobody knew your name |
|
Nobody knew your name |
