Matinee Idol |
This is the day |
The day of the death |
The death of the matinee idol |
Still so beautiful as the angels |
As the angels came down from high |
So sweet and so soft |
So charmingly daft |
So young was the matinee idol |
Lips of crimson, slightly open |
As the flash and all fame put to rest |
Walk along that wall |
No it is not from the academy |
Walk along that wall |
From this moment on You’ll cease to be the undying love of the public eye |
And so goes one more away from the maze |
Away for to sit at the table above babel |
Far from this world |
While standing on the boulevard |
Walk along that wall |
No it is not from the academy |
Walk along that wall |
From this moment on You’ll cease to be But still |
Whomever has looked at beauty is marked out already by death |
Still so beautiful as the angels |
As the angels came down from high |
