lyrics

Mama, I'm cold
I thought I could trust the world around me -
so I'm told, when they found me I was dressed in solid gold
Smiling for the news, bathing in the blues
of another forgotten soul, gone, gone

Mama, I'm scared
I ran away into the world so unprepared
Crying for your girl - Mama, tell 'em it isn't fair to me
how I'm forced to be nothing more than an example
for the whole damn world to see

Cause I wanted to see my name on a marquee
Lit up and livin, draped on the doors of Carnegie
I spent all of my childhood, hoping I could get real good
Enough to live forever, as every starlet should

But now I'm trapped in a world that I don't know,
six feet under, screaming, but that's just too damn low
I searched for fame, and fame I got
the Devil tricked me, took his shot
I never was aware that they'd remember me
by the flowers in my hair
