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

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 recognise 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

And it's a long long road
But you're too blind to see
