Lyrics

Did you ever hear about the lady in the light?
I long to ask her how she spent those lonely nights
Were promises of refuge made in every bed she shared
Or in the ones who bleached her brunette hair?
Hair, hair, hair, hair

Did she ever long to shave it all off?
Did she see her flame from the gaze of the moths?
Or did she laugh at the thought of not holding her tongue
When she wondered if she was gonna die young?
Young, young, young, young

Did you ever know about the crash on Mulholland drive
And how it took her friend out that fateful summer night?
Some say she went wild when she heard the news
Some say they were lovers, that’s when LA was painted blue
Blue, blue, blue, blue

Others blame the absence of her mom
And claim she took her rage out on generations to come
And others think it was simply all the drugs
But I’d say those were just another way to run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run

And now she sleeps in linen sheets as crowds watch her and roar
And I sit here with the same dreams and wonder: what is it for?
For, for, for, for

Did you ever hear about the lady in the light?
Did you smile or did she make you wanna cry?
