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

the face has changed

and you're still the same

And it's a long, long way

from where you want to be

and it's a long, long road

but you're too 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

That it's a long, long way

from where you want to be

and it's a long, long road

but you're too blind to see

When you look

around yourself now

do you recognise 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 faces change

the grace remains

and you're still the same

And it's a long, long way

from where you want to be

and it's a long, long road

but you're too blind to see

And it's a long, long way

from where you want to be

but it's a long, long road

and you're too blind to see

That it's a long, long way

from where you want to be

and it's a long, long road

and you're too blind to see
