She locks the bedroom door
Lies face down on the bed
Hears voices down the hall
Are they real or in her head
Pictures on the wall
Reminders every one
Just memories of the past
Of a time that's been and gone
All those wild and crazy nights
They still dance before her eyes
(Those crazy nights)
(Her name in lights)
Look at her now
The golden days are over
Look at her now
No leading man to hold her
She was one in a million
Now she's that forgotten face
Look at her now
The golden days are over, they're in the past
Lauded by the press
An overnight success
A favourite with the fans
Had them eating from her hands
But stars fall from the sky
In the twinkle of an eye
There's no more silver screen
Just another broken dream
Still she strikes a classic pose
Just in case the cameras roll
(She steals the scene)
(Relives the dream)
Look at her now
The golden days are over
Look at her now
No leading man to hold her
She was one in a million
Now she's that forgotten face
Look at her now
She needs someone to hold her
To feed her lines
Someone to co-star
Someone to shine
Look at her now
The golden days are over
(The golden days are over - they're over)
Look at her now
No leading man to hold her
(No M.G.M. - no Paramount - no 20th Century)
Look at her now
The golden days are over
(Decline and fall )
(No curtain call)
Look at her now
The golden days are over
(No M.G.M. - no Paramount - no 20th Century)
Look at her now
The golden days are over
(Decline and fall)
(No curtain call)
