Lulu

They said that Hollywood was
Never gonna be the same without you
Still you're gone
How could we forget that face
And all that silver flickering grace
That died with the silent age
When everybody knew your name
They all knew your name
Born wild like a prairie flower
She was sown by the wind and blown for miles
Kansas couldn't keep the child
Hell bound for the Great White Way
For the tawdry bawdy burlesque stage
And Wichita was miles and miles away
Everybody knew your name
Everybody knew your name
They knew your name
So you burned the candle
Burned it at both ends
So love ends in scandal
You burned it brief you burned it bright
And the light in your immortal eyes
Is the light that will never die
Christened in straight up gin
Pandora was born in Weimar Berlin
And that was the rise before the fall
Everybody sat in the dark dark black as night
Everybody wanted to go where the light was so bright
And your shining face was gonna lead the way
Homecoming like a h****ne bride
But the honeymoon was over before you arrived
And now they all cursed your name
Everybody cursed your name
Cold winds of Gotham howled
And the princess pawned her celluloid crown
In the glass castle walls
Nobody knew your name
Nobody knew your name
