Gloss & Scandal

Powder puff, little black lies,
Ruby lips with a hint of surprise.
Cameras flash like chandelier light,
Bat my lashes, step to the right.
Diamonds whisper, secrets burn,
Tables turn, but I never learn.
Paper smiles, painted grace,
One more name in a bold-type place.
Oh-oh, gloss and scandal,
Dripping gold with a touch of vandal!
Oh-oh, love's a game,
Win the night, then change your name!
Silk glove wave, play my part,
Headlines write what's left of my heart.
Flawless pose, calculated grace,
Every move leaves a lipstick trace.
Diamonds whisper, secrets burn,
Tables turn, but I never learn.
Paper smiles, painted grace,
One more name in a bold-type place.
Oh-oh, gloss and scandal,
Dripping gold with a touch of vandal!
Oh-oh, love's a game,
Win the night, then change your name!
Cut the reel, rewrite the past,
Fairy tales were never meant to last.
Lies look best in black and white,
Fade to gray and dim the lights.
Oh-oh, gloss and scandal,
Dripping gold with a touch of vandal!
Oh-oh, love's a game,
Win the night, then change your name!
Silver screen, now it's all pretend,
What's a queen with no throne to defend?
