She had to call it a street life, Wanna know what it be like when it be right... there. Black lipstick, tattoos of the peace sign Plus the mark of the beast sign, oh night please be kind, Baby girl has no... fears. Blowing cigarette smoke in slow motion Offered a love potion, but it's frozen Thinks the world's so insincere Now she dancing with strangers She don't know they name no The city exclaimed her but she doesn't care
She had to call it a bright life See the shine in the spotlights Wanna know what that like when it be right... there. White liar, put her name in their headlines Taking pictures on her website Just so weathered in the headlights Baby girl don't you be... scared Red carpet, on the arms of an artist Is starlit on the star-less paparazzi target Things being normal's just so unfair She knows that it's dangerous, she wants to be famous But she's not ashamed 'cause it ain't nothing there
And they looking far away from, where they came from See the night has betrayed them, told em it would stay young Told them they would stay young The night's on the run right before the rise Black mascara's running from their eyes But big girls don't cry It'll be tonight(tonight) They'll put back on the lights.
