lyrics: J. Morse © 1983 She had a dream, to make it big on the screen More beautiful than anyone I know It wasn't hard for her to finally break the scene She had it made; show her face and she'd get paid In a world all her own, seemed she'd never, ever fade From the hearts and minds of people everywhere She caught on like a magnet Never letting go She was at the top She always stole the show She never had a worry The girl was on fire Hotter than hell Burning higher and higher On fire. . . She was riding high, no need to look down from the sky On the raging crest of a wave But then, you know it's true, all dreams must die She heard the siren's call, then came the fall No one was there to stop her, she lost the dream and all And left the hearts and minds of people everywhere She caught on like a magnet Never letting go She was at the top She always stole the show She never had a worry The girl was on fire Hotter than hell Burning higher and higher And higher. . . But when the fires cooled What was there to do? A starlet fading fast Neglected by the human zoo Nobody cared anymore So dampen out the fire Forget her name for now The paparrazzi even tire Of the girl who's no longer on fire. . . |
