The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What becomes a legend most
- when she's alone in a hotel lobby
What becomes a legend most
- some bad champagne and some foreign bottled beer
What becomes a legend most
- when the musicians have come and then leave her
What becomes a legend most
- besides beeing a legendary star
What becomes a legend most
- lying in bed cold and regal
What becomes a legend most
- lying in bed watching a talk show on tv
What becomes a legend most
- fifty days in fifty cities
Everyone says she looks pretty
At least as pretty as a legend should
Fifty days can wear you down
Fifty cities flying by
A different man in each different hotel
And if you're not careful, word can get around
What becomes a legend most
- when she's lying in her hotel room
What becomes a legend most
- well baby tonight it's you
