slipping

You can tell by the cracks in her shiny veneer
that the sounds all around her are becoming quite clear
She smiles with her mouth, but not with her eyes
but if you look closely, her careful disguise

is slipping, it's slipping, her careful disguise is slipping

Celebrity upkeep is keeping her up
and the little white pills so many she pops
to make her feel better, she arranges her time
Pictures at 7, promotion at 9

it's slipping, it's slipping, her careful disguise is slipping

Fame came to early, the price is too great
she wants only love and she feels only hate
to keep herself busy lives by the phone,
always surrounded, but she feels so alone


She's slipping, she's slipping, her careful disguise is slipping
