Tinseltown
Falling down
Reaching out for someone
To come down
Oblivious
To all of us, the child
That grows inside
Seventeen
Without a care, she's taking
Another ride
A sense of peace
She's waving back to faces
Carved in stone
Tinsel town
Here in tinsel town
It's pulled you down
Life in tinsel town
Overthrown
Relinquished all
Life breeds all around
A fun fair trip
A carousel
She's trying
To hang on
Here in tinsel town
Life in tinsel town
It's pulled you down
Stuck in tinsel town
I think she might make it
She has the will to go on
She's turning back pages
As the world steps on
Here in tinsel town
Life in tinsel town
It's pulled you down
Stuck in tinsel town
Alone
Alone
Alone
So Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
So Alone
Alone
Here in tinsel town
