BROKEN WINDOW SERENADE
FROM A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW
but have you ever
wondered what it would
sound like from the girls
perspective...
my dream was to be a singer
and a big movie star
but I can't catch no breaks baby
and Hollywood is hard
now I work down at the Time Out
off of 155
dancin' for my dollar
just tryna stay alive
it hurts me so
I thought you should know
and I ain't got no addiction
just something to ease the pain
cause risks make life worth living
nothing ventured nothing gained
made a deal with the devil
as my looks began to fade
and all I can do is laugh
cause I know I slipped away
I had to go
I thought you should know
it's time for me to go
I thought you should know
