On an ordinary plain
Ran to new york
But ran away from fame
Only seventeen
When all your dreams came true
But all you wanted
Was someone to undress you
And all the stars you kissed
Could never ease the pain
Still the grace remains
And though the face has changed
You're still the same
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long way
But you're to blind to see
Frame of silence
Of an innocence divine
Is a dangerous creation
When you fail the test of time
And all the photographs
Of ghosts of long ago
Still they hurt you so
Won't let you go
And you still don't know
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
An it's a long long way
But you're to blind to see
When you look around yourself now
Do you recognize the girl
The one who broke a thousand hearts
Terrified the world
And all the stars you kissed
Could never ease the pain
And if the face has changed
The grace remains
And you're still the same
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
An it's a long long way
But you're to blind to see....
Born in kansas On an ordinary plain Ran to new york But ran away from fame Only seventeen When all your dreams came true But all you wanted Was someone to undress you And all the stars you kissed Could never ease the pain Still the grace remains And though the face has changed You're still the same And it's a long long way From where you want to be And it's a long long way But you're to blind to see Frame of silence Of an innocence divine Is a dangerous creation When you fail the test of time And all the photographs Of ghosts of long ago Still they hurt you so Won't let you go And you still don't know And it's a long long way From where you want to be An it's a long long way But you're to blind to see When you look around yourself now Do you recognize the girl The one who broke a thousand hearts Terrified the world And all the stars you kissed Could never ease the pain And if the face has changed The grace remains And you're still the same And it's a long long way From where you want to be An it's a long long way But you're to blind to see....
