I didn't want to be anything
Other than beautiful on billboards and silver screens
Moving like mercury I'd never conceived
That it would be so easy and so much free
Guess I'd rather been a grifter
It's a comedy over here
Of all my mistakes
The greatest is to greet the crowd with fear
Cause they smelled it on my breath
Even through the barbiturates and beer
Long after I had left they insisted on carrying the cheer
