Lyrics
The Show
The Show (must go on)
Words & Music by Drew Evan Stewart
She's got the top down She's lookin' good
She's Drivin' West bound Out to Hollywood She's got her hopes high She's got her dreams They say she's even got potential She don't know what that means
But she believes she's so much better Than what she's leavin' behind She's got a lot to prove And she's done made up her mind
She's got the look and wants the world to see Her True Hollywood Story on "E" She "don't need anybody" She can "make it alone" and The Show Must Go On.
Pretty soon she's outta' money (oops) And she don't know what to do She meets a Producer who says, "Baby I've gotta script that's just right for you!"
"Sure! You're gonna make decent money!" "..And we're gonna have a lot of fun!" "Well YEAH, there are some nude scenes." But they're VERY TASTEFULLY DONE!" :)
She don't know what she's gettin' into and she's WAY over her head Then she shows up on the set There's just a camera, and a bed
She say's she's gotta start somewhere Might as well do it 'cause She don't wanna go home. She finds her justification and decides that, The Show Must Go On.
Does what she has to To pay the bills & after while she starts to really enjoy her work and her booze, & her cocaine, & her pills
And this ain't exactly what she pictured When she saw herself on top She's made too many compromises And she don't know how to stop She feels more dirty than special but she's got notoriety Looks like she's somewhat of a STAR after all just in an underground society
Another tragic tale of broken dreams She got her Hollywood Story on E! She can't reach her goals and she can never go home but The Show Must Go On!
She's got the look and wants the world to see Her True Hollywood Story on "E" She "don't need anybody" She can "make it alone" and The Show Must Go On.
