We must applaud the batting-eyed starlet
Recognize her beauty in the spotlight
Cameras flash, well she is an actress
Grand theatrical artifice, her method madness
Her method madness

The odds are good, but the goods are odd
Diffuser of charms, audition a new facade
Play the part of Dreamy Percolatrix
Cast in a different shade, role of a lifetime sentence
Role of a lifetime sentence

Scars left, confidence shaken
It was a good act, but I was mistaken
Said all the words, but she was just faking, yeah

EAEAB
Sorrows well rehearsed, (just play tragic) lights camera distraction
Knows how to put on a show when they call action
Staged quite the performance, my best Judy
Made me believe that she really loved me
She really loved me

The sheet has Chorus ×2 here; this take goes straight on to the outro
EG#mAF#C#mB
Hold on the B
Unplaced lines (on the sheet, no section)
The best part of my life was fake, performative
A grand theatrical piece, stunning performance, performative — I was left stunned
No curtain call, oh the pageantry
From the theater stifled in July heat, on a velvet curtained stage
Vaud villain closing in, lost in the roar of the crowd
She puts on a good act, but she doesn't care about anyone but herself
Show must go on, plot thickens like a sewer choking fatburg
Flowers thrown / tossed
