lyrics

There's a girl, standing on stage
Singing Bowie to the cats in the bar
There's a big time record executive
Telling her that she's gonna go far

Now she doesn't quite know what to do yet
Because she's only just turned twenty-four
But she's been waiting to get out her desk job
And try to find something a little bit more

She knows that the brutalization of the
Industry's gonna kill her inside
But she can't spend another night
Drunkenly semi-singing 'Rock & Roll Suicide'

Until she becomes one of her own

Well she signs her pretty new contract
Guaranteeing fortune and fame
And she meets the hot young producer
And five years from now no one will know his name

'Cause he'll crash and he'll burn just like all of the others
And she's gonna come down with him
'Cause she is just his little android obeying
To every promise with a grin

And by the time that she turns twenty-five
She's got four big number one hits
She's selling out concerts in giant arenas
Where 10,000 screaming fans sit

Give her two more years and then she'll be gone

She's recording her follow-up effort
Getting guest spots from all the big stars
And the day before the release date
She was found dead in her car

She went to her big release party
And did a few lines of cocaine
Then she did a few more and fell down on the floor
Started twitching like she was insane

Said some incomprehensible words as her friends
Tried to hold her and pick her back up
And they threw her in the backseat of her BMW
To join the 27 club

I can't wait wait to meet her, just ten years to go
