lyrics

Key Grip

Everyone knows ...
The cigarette burns, stomach churns.
We tapped into something special.
Oh yeah. Come around to the street,
never know what you meet.

Oh, the vanity. Lays empty.
Sharp little pixy. You're on your way.
Your vanity lays empty.
She's wearing the heavy eye liner.
Make room for her on the casting couch.
Girl, don't let the man get to you.
Oh, wait your turn.
You see, everyone gets a chance.
Yeah, the cancer creates it's own future.
You see this is the story about everyone
who goes off to Hollywood in search of something bigger.
It hurts to think of the vanity.

She was a silver man.
The pain hurt inside.
Her vanity...
Swallowed up by New York sisters.
Hey, what's that? Put it down.
It's brass. Come on key grip!
Get more of the same stuff.
Her vanity burns inside.
Her cancerous sore lays open.
Setting it up. Setting it up!

You see she's one messed up pixy.
Set out with an empty vanity.
It all came clean when her manservant came around.

And here's where it starts.
You know I ain't no Peter Lawford but maybe I'll marry a Kennedy.
Where's your agent? I don't know, I don't want to get involved.
She and her sister always wanted the best for her and her life.
Swallowed up by New York, never quite fell far from the tree.
Everyone, that's a wrap.
And, hey have you seen the key grip?
I want to know where the key grip left my prescription.
Everyone knows she's gonna be a star.
But she'll fall far far.
