Oh, make me over I'm all I want to be A walking study In demonology Hey, so glad you could make it Yeah, now you really made it Hey, so glad you could make it now Oh, look at my face My name is might have been My name is never was My name's forgotten Hey, so glad you could make it Yeah, now you really made it Hey, there's only us left now When I wake up in my makeup It's too early for that dress Wilted and faded somewhere in Hollywood I'm glad I came here With your pound of flesh No second billing cause you're a star now Oh, Cinderella They aren't sluts like you Beautiful garbage beautiful dresses Can you stand up or will you Just fall down You better watch out What you wish for It better be worth it So much to die for Hey, so glad you could make it Yeah, now you really made it Hey, there's only us left now When I wake up in my makeup Have you ever felt so used up as this? It's all so sugarless Hooker, waitress, model, actress Oh, just go nameless Honeysuckle, she's full of poison She obliterated everything she kissed Now she's fading Somewhere in Hollywood I'm glad I came here With your pound of flesh You want a part of me Well, I'm not selling cheap No, I'm not selling cheap
