Anatomy Of A Plastic Girl

from Hollywood Under The Knife by The Opiates

/

lyrics

You can’t say I’m not human
But every hour, every minute,every second and beyond can pass me by
I’m really anything but bland
But what you see is what you get when I parade my silhouette down Rodeo Drive

And you can look inside
There is a light that shines
Under the pale white smile

You could say I’ve got some fame
Well I go out to lunch with actors now and then
And when I go home I’m still the same
And there’s really nothing there
When I look into the mirror I see really nothing here but a face and name

And you can leave me here
For where the glitter lay
There is a battlefield

And you can leave me here
I have no enemies
Only reality

If I was anybody then
I was a nobody to most but that was better
Now I’m everybody all the time

And I am miserable
Under the pretty shell
There are a thousand holes
