Pandora's Box
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.
Born in Kansas
On an ordinary plain
Ran to New York
But ran away from fame
Only seventeen
When all your dreams came true
But all you wanted was someone
To undress you
And all the stars you kissed
Could never ease the pain
Still the grace remains
The face has changed you're still the same
And it's a long long way (long way)
From where you want to be
(And it's a) and it's a long long road (too long)
But you're too blind to see
Frame to silence
Of an innocence divine
Is a dangerous creation
When you fail the test of time
And all the photographs
Of ghost of long ago
Still they hurt you so
Won't let you go
And you still don't know
And it's a long long way (long way)
From where you want to be
(And it's a) and it's a long long road (too long)
But you're too blind to see
When you look around yourself now
Do you recognise the girl
The one who broke a thousand hearts
Terrified the world?
And all the stars you kissed
Could never ease the pain
And if the face has changed
The grace remains
And you're still the same
(And it's a) and it's a long long away (long way)
From where you want to be
(And it's a) and it's a long long road (too long)
And you're too blind to see
(And it's a) and it's a long long away (long way)
From where you want to be
(And it's a) and it's a long long road (too long)
And you're too blind to see
(And it's a) and it's a long long away (long way)
From where you want to be
(And it's a) and it's a long long road (too long)
