All the people in your hometown when you were just a teen Said that you were pretty like in the magazine So you left your hometown to try out for the part Of everybody's pretty little angel with a pretty little heart You studied hard the map of the stars Every night you wanted to be
That fly between the stars And you smoke a little more Waiting in the lines for them to open up the door For all the little angels
So you got yourself an agent and you made a little deal They got you on the TV and everyone agreed You had the charm and the appeal So you brought yourself a house in the Hollywood Hills You bought yourself a tan You fixed your nose and hair You landed hard on the map of the stars Everynight they want you to be
That fly between the stars And you drink a little more Waiting in your room for them to open up the door For all the little angels
Now you drink a little more Your family's talking to the press And the movie didn't score
The people on the street now They read about your break up And somewhere in your hometown A girl tries out her best So she eats a little less
