music and lyrics by Lindsey Buckingham



At the end of the day

The end of the light

She keeps the remains of all of her foes

Miranda is dying with all of her might

She never comes

She always goes



She sticks the camera right into her arm

Anything to forget what the trouble's about

It causes her pain

That's part of the charm

She's down for the count

And finally out



Miranda is taking the stars down

A little something to call her own

By the light there still goes Miranda

And Miranda is always alone



She sees her face in another magazine

And the walls all close in 

As the fancy takes flight

Can't stand to be loved

But she loves to be seen

She slips down headlong into the night



Miranda is taking the stars down

A little something to call her own

By the light there still goes Miranda

And Miranda is always alone



And then all at once 

The sun starts to rise

She sees her father holding her down

All the daylight is poison to her eyes

She slips down the shade

And lets herself drown



Miranda is taking the stars down

A little something to call her own

By the light there still goes Miranda

And Miranda is always alone



The lights shot down in the arena

All across the safety zone

But loneliness follows Miranda

And Miranda is always alone

Miranda is always alone

Miranda is always alone
