The Tinsel Town Tease

What I really wanted to do was Have a little fluffy buzz All the flashing lights Were ever so bright In the evening night The carpet ever so red Does it know how much I am in debt? Hopefully this roll will work There will be food on my fork Trying to make it here Wondering how many guys are watching with a six pack of beer But I will be a star Not at some local rural bar Instead on the wooden screen Where everyone will pay attention to my fearful scream You see I am in the first scene This is my modeling dream To get knocked off While making out in the barn loft Reading scripture In a moving picture Scheduled for a limited run At midnight everyone will have fun Only a few minutes my character will be done Venturing outside the big city Acting enthusiastic and witty Then tomorrow I will head to another gig Pitching household goods or the Christmas pig Getting away with my good looks While reading way too many books Wondering if I should study how to cook Then I can appear talking in the morning Career now is really soaring Offers start coming in Celebrity status accompanied with a shot of gin Reclining back in my director’s seat Reflecting about the time when I was innocent and sweet Those were precious memories indeed Since that was when they planted my bad seed
