It's like a makeover when the filming's over[00:00:11]
And she doesn't know[00:00:16]
How to fix it so that it'll stay[00:00:18]
And she can't figure out[00:00:20]
How to tease out her hair that way herself[00:00:22]
And when she wakes up all the make-up[00:00:27]
Has rubbed away[00:00:32]
And she doesn't know how to find her face[00:00:34]
It was only for one single day[00:00:36]
That you looked so beautiful baby[00:00:41]
Now your cheeks have gone pale[00:00:45]
And your roots dark gray[00:00:47]
And though they nod as they notice you're nice[00:00:53]
Baby nobody's noticing twice[00:00:57]
Dim the lights as your memory of paradise fades[00:01:01]
I'm like an architect who cashed his check[00:01:08]
But he doesn't let on[00:01:12]
That it's the last one he'll get[00:01:15]
Though he knows the funds have run dry[00:01:17]
He wants to have fun for one final night[00:01:21]
Staring out at a skyline that he'll never change[00:01:25]
They're saying Though we like all things that you've made[00:01:30]
Notice no one remembers your name[00:01:38]
As you float through time[00:01:41]
Feel your powers decline day by day[00:01:46]
You're like a convert who goes back to work[00:02:14]
When he can't retrieve how the clarity actually felt[00:02:17]
When his co-workers ask him the words won't come out[00:02:22]
And in three weeks his new leaf has blown away[00:02:29]
And it feels just like an average day[00:02:36]
Facing walls talking into the phone[00:02:38]
Sitting dumbly in church all alone Picking back up the magazines he'd thrown away[00:02:43]
Well convert what your god whispered into youl ear[00:02:53]
You forgot once that god disappeared[00:02:59]
And that life-changing day[00:03:03]
Well you just felt it fade[00:03:04]
But of course you know it's got to fade[00:03:08]
You know it's got to fade[00:03:13]
Oh you know it's got to fade[00:03:17]
And falling down on the couch he says[00:03:22]
It's perfectly that way[00:03:25]
