Natalie Wood

We have a very absorbing story of a girl who was forced into a game of terror
In which the dice were loaded with

No one knew if her face was black and blue when she hit the water
But it was when they dragged her out
Are the rumors true? Did you see those empty bottles?
They had come to see what the fuss was all about

And every cop in town was her audience that night
They'd come from all around, they heard she was famous
But you'd never know, except her hair was perfect
And everyone kind of felt like movie stars and they went home so impressed

Cut to the scene, she turned 17
And do you still believe everything that your mother told ya?
'Cause when you're born into this life, reciting lines is a waste of time
Just go in there and close the door behind ya

And there's a world of difference between acing the audition
And doing whatever it takes to win the part
And all those other girls, well, they just had to listen
They knew it took more than kissing if you wanna break somebody's heart

Doesn't matter who they're pointing at
'Cause the cameras always shine on you
15 when you cut your pigtail
Washed up at 22
