Prepare Just be aware And she'll appear In front of your eyes: Bracing, alive A queen Upon a stage She'll make you faint But as curtains fall She's starting to crawl Back to her convoluted self Sleepless nights in featureless hotels And you can tell That she is vulnerable Loveable, unknowable A self, all by herself She's giving herself To strangers at night But as the light switches off She's nobody's lover Goes home by herself Leaving strangers behind But as the light switches on She's everyone's lover An act A flawless mask Makes you react To things that ain't real: A surface, a shield A dream With auburn hair So rich and rare But as curtains fall Her highness turns small And she simply can't explain Desperate to build herself a name And entertain She's Miss unknowable Loveable, but no one seems to know The girl behind the show She's giving herself To strangers at night But as the light switches off She's nobody's lover Goes home by herself Leaving strangers behind But as the light switches on She's everyone's lover
