Cosmopolitans and ladies
Looking for pills in draperies
Separate bedrooms and attached baths
While the precious don't quite understand
And quietly slip off to beauty
Painless, don't you wish you were weightless
Famous, from this moment you're fated
Panic makes quite a morning cocktail of insecurity
A fallen pancake breakfast for two
And the ladies choice of partners varies
From evening to evening
The loneliness is expected if not predicted
Small time and you're dreaming of the big lights
Screen life, you went looking for a good time
Painless, don't you wish you were weightless
Famous, from this moment you're fated
A life on the boards spilled over to the coast
And maybe down to the beach
It's a new medium pleasure to
Re-take and re-shoot
Only to pull focus before distribution
Small time and you're dreaming of the big lights
Screen life, you went looking for a good time
Painless, don't you wish you were weightless
Famous, from this moment you're fated
Advice, agents and taped late night whiskey
Tiny cups for a tiny lady
Opera heels are swiftly growing indecent
And a lady in descent
Falling forward towards the cosmopolitans and ladies
Looking for pills in draperies
Small time and you're dreaming of the big lights
Screen life, you went looking for a good time
Painless, don't you wish you were weightless
Famous, from this moment you're fated
