She locks the bedroom door – lies face down on the bed Hears voices down the hall – are they real or in her head Pictures on the wall – reminders every one Just memories of the past – of a time that’s Been and gone All those wild and crazy nights – they still Dance before her eyes (those crazy nights – her name in lights)
Look at her now the golden days are over Look at her now no leading man to hold her She was one in a million now she’s that Forgotten face Look at her now the golden days are over
Applauded by the press – an overnight success A favourite with the fans – had them eating From her hands But stars fall from the sky – in the twinkle Of an eye
There’s no more silver screen just another Broken dream Still she strikes a classic pose – just in case The cameras roll (she steals the scene – relieves the dream)
Look at her now the golden days are over Look at her now no leading man to hold her She was one in a million now she’s that Forgotten face Look at her now she needs someone to hold her To feed her lines – someone to co-star Someone to shine
Look at her now the golden days are over (the golden days are over – they’re over) Look at her now no leading man to hold her (no m.g.m. – no paramount – no 20th century) Look at her now the golden days are over (decline and fall – no curtain call)
