i know some television sweetheart predestined to live forever
with hurdles in between and the man of her dreams
she has a direct effect on the weather
and can stitch up the jeans of the world
where they're splitting at the seams

she's a superstar everyone would like to be so strong as to touch her
sexy like a mystery but it doesn't go so far
as to keep her from the truth
that woman shines like the sun but knows every shadow under every roof

maybe you can't be what you want to be
but the selection of masks is extensive
the lies in this life are what make me edgy
the truth just keeps me pensive

where'd the lady go the lady walked the talk away
sure she did sure she did i know the house in which she stayed
she left a day ago left a letter on the door
i took the coloring book the rest is yours
how many times a day does opportunity slip away
just because the baby you were grew into some strange shoes
stick it out with yourself don't put your heart upon a shelf
i mean everybody knows you're acting
