Celebrity Eyecandy

She stands on the big screen; bearing it all,
And she's proud of what she does; standing tall -
With bleach blond hair and bright blue eyes,
She's the prettiest thing; but it's all a bunch of lies.

She may have the looks; not the brain or the heart,
But give her a script and some lines; she'll play her part,
With an ashen smile and a masqueraded fame,
She'll walk the red carpet; fans calling out her name.

And behind the scenes; she stumbles into a basket case,
Crying her pretty little heart out; mascara streaking her face,
But to ask for any bit of help; she wouldn't dare,
Because she knows that her fans don't really care.

She's just celebrity eyecandy; no different from the rest,
Another girl that will take the money to get undressed,
So she snorts the drugs and drinks back the champagne,
Celebrating another hit movie and hiding all of her pain.

But in a back room; she's taught to kick up her feet;
By another anonymous stranger with a face so sweet,
And tomorrow morning; she'll be on the front page of the news,
With some over exaggerated stories; she'll be accused.

She stands on the big screen; bearing it all,
And she's proud of what she does; standing tall -
With bleach blond hair and bright blue eyes,
She's the prettiest thing; but it's all a bunch of lies.
