lyrics

baby face on a silver screen
whiter than the knuckles of a drama queen
dirty secrets and alley skies
now a fallen angel with bloodshot eyes

singer, singer, on the edge of a dream
mama’s little baby loves the spotlight scene
dancing like an angel with golden hair
and shake it while the others all sit and stare

i know it's been a long time but i forgot to pray
and i know it's just the wrong time but still i had to say

the highway's breathing again
and the right way's leading you wrong
and the sideway is wasting all my time
the highway's breathing again
and the right way's leading you wrong
and your blue eyes wasted all my time

like a boulder on the edge of the scree
she’s waiting for the moment that we set her free
diamond eyes in the deepest clay
we’ve barely got time to wash it all away

i know it's been a long time but i forgot to pray
and i know it's just the wrong time but still i had to say

the highway's breathing again
and the right way's leading you wrong
and the sideway is wasting all my time
the highway's breathing again
and the right way's leading you wrong
and your blue eyes wasted all my time

saratoga tugged a branch from the tree of love and hate
a garden party lie spoiled her innocent face
secrets told could not convey the silent fool she felt inside
her taste is sweet, her art is fine, naive of all the lies

saratoga's hanging on to a word, unspoken
her mind, a cavern well
her path, a swift, unbroken chain of lies and mishaps
caught inside by treason
a con, saratoga

-March 1993
