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 and though 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
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
When you look around yourself now do you recognize 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 face has changed 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
