Silver For Gold

Element Of Darkness

Silver For Gold


She's slipping on her silver shoes 
They help her lose those rich girl blues 
They make her feel 
That she can choose her path 

She's sticking on her eye lashes 
Armor against car crashes 
With bat wings on her eyes 
She can fly 

She's spraying on her aqua-net 
She gone to blonde from brunette 
It gets her into 
Where she needs to get 

She's not on the list 
She's above the list 
She is the life and the soul 
Of every party 
And she will be missed 
Her ribbons kissed 
The bright lights have an element of darkness 

She's painting on her Maybeline 
Make up is what makes a queen 
For her it is 
A kind of voodoo mask 

She's pouring into haute couture 
Balenciaga and Dior 
The cat-walk's paved with gold 
And takes her home 

She's peeling off her leotard 
Laying down a tarot card 
She falls asleep 
And starts another fire

She's not on the list 
She's above the list 
She is the life and the soul 
Of every party 
And she will be missed 
her ribbons kissed 

The bright lights have an element of darkness 
The bright lights have an element of darkness 
The bright lights have an element of darkness
