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 |
