[Bb] hiding in her [Gm] cellophane world in glitter town.
[Dm] Awaiting the prince in het [Am] white Capri
[Bb] dynamic young tarzan [Gm] courts the bedsit queen.
[Dm] She's playing the actress in this [Am] bedroom scene,
[Bb] she's learning her lines from glossy [Gm] magazines.
[Dm] Stringing all her pearls from her [Am] childhood dreams,
[Bb] auditioning for the leading role on the [Gm] silver screen.

Per[Dm]form to scattered [Am] shadows on the

the [C] withered tube[Am]rose.
