Down (Like a Movie Star) Songtext
von Comus

First she lost faith in the face of the crowd
And she watched herself die on TV
Her feet should grew pate
So she held her head proud
And retired so gracefully
Just in case it′s there
In case she goes

Down, down, down
Like a movie star
Down, down, down
Tell me who you are
Down, down, down
Like a shooting star
Down, down, down
But that's not the end
What happened then was


She danced with the guys
With a glint in her eyes
Hoping to somehow catch a hint of surprise
She spent all her money on papers and dreams
Now she stands in the back alley
With her bottle of dreams
And it seems
That she goes

Down, down, down
Like a movie star
Down, down, down
Tell me who you are
Down, down, down
Like a shooting star
Down, down, down
She made a face for the guys
Oh but they didn′t look quite
The work is so hard
To stare to the stars
It was all too much
Like the queen of the screen
From the days before sound
She was out of touch
And she goes down


Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

She covered the years
And the tears
And the fears
With layers of makeup and eye mask
But under the smears
Cracks began to appear
How long can she live in the past?
How long will she last?
Before she goes

Down, down, down
Like a movie star
Down, down, down
Tell me who you are
Down, down, down
Like a shooting star
Down, down, down
Same old story
Faded glory
And she goes down
Down, down, down, down, down

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Down, down, down
Like a movie star
Down, down, down
Like a movie star
Down, down, down
Like a movie star
Down, down, down
Like a movie star
Down, down, down
Like a movie star
Down, down, down
Oh baby you're going down
Baby you're going down
Baby you′re going down
Baby you′re going down
Baby you're going down
Baby you′re going down
Baby you're going down
Baby you′re going down
Baby you're going down
Baby you′re going down
