American princess Beat poetry heiress Gala dinner Violet dress All eyes on you So young so scared of death Weren't you, Elizabeth? Empty bottles, broken shelf They never fix a thing Kerouac, St Augustine Love affairs fit for a Queen Their faded faces so pristine In your little black book But your words were works of art Diamond encrusted heart A New England Joan of Arc Your faith held firm But I hope that I meet you when I go To that afterparty of this sad little show And we can talk about Lake Placid in the snow Dylan, Cohen, Bruce Springsteen New York skyline, movie queen Johnny Cash, TV Screen I'm Wide Awake It's Morning You're waiting for the Jack of Hearts Lizzy you played all the parts Ready for the show to start At the Cabaret Then fame and glory, up in lights A generation's Jacobite You Young Pretender, Lust for Life You had it all Kanye West and limousines Elon Musk and kerosene But Life on Mars ain't what it seemed Now was it Oh Buddy Holly, Hollywood 1960's Sisterhood And Stevie Nicks, she understood What you now know So sad eyed lady, won't you go To that afterparty of this silly little show And we can talk about Lake Placid in the snow Epigrams and Epic Poems Bannisters, Long Island homes Broken voices, telephones You sung about them all Oh Greatest Gatsby of them all You're the Matron Saint of the debutant's ball Four Freedoms on your wall Yes I know they are But hero worship's not for me Though I count upon your rosary I scribble my poor poetry For someone else So fare thee well Miss Carousel A swirling vision, laced with Hell And I'll ask you not for whom this bell Is tolling all the same I just hope that I meet you when I go To that afterparty of this sorry little show And we can talk about Lake Placid in the snow We can talk about lake Placid, like we're on the radio We can talk about New York and when you'll go
