lyrics

If a tree comes down and no-one's around was it ever really there? And if your name in lights no longer shines did people ever really care?

I was just a kid when I ended up beside a Hollywood director's chair. Said he'd make me a queen of the silver screen: sharp face, blue eyes, blonde hair.

Empty promises of fame and star-studded premieres. But they chew me up and spat me out. Should have been someone, I swear. But they'll remember me now...

Burn it down.

Typecast as a has-been but tonight that all will change. Gonna give them an ending that's worthy of centre stage.

Years of anonymity gonna go up in flames. My resting place: a funeral pyre carefully arranged...

From torn out paper press cuttings of my glory days. My neighbours will have to use them to identify my remains.

Flames climb up the wall. A monument to potential. If you're not someone then you're no-one at all. My fitting curtain call.
