Born in Kansas on an ordinary plain Ran to New York but ran away from fame Only seventeen when all your dreams came true But all you wanted was someone to undress you And all the stars you kissed could never ease the pain Still the grace remains, the face has changed And you're still the same And it's a long, long way from where you want to be Well, it's a long, long road and you're too blind to see Frame of silence of an innocence divine Is a dangerous creation when you fail the test of time And all the photographs of ghosts of long ago Still they hurt you so, won't let you go And you still don't know And it's a long, long way from where you want to be Well, it's a long, long road and you're too blind to see When you look around yourself now Do you recognize the girl? The one who broke a thousand hearts Terrified the world And all the stars you kissed could never ease the pain Lift the face has changed, the grace remains And you're still the same And it's a long, long way from where you want to be Well, it's a long, long road and you're too blind to see And it's a long, long way from where you want to be Well, it's a long, long road and you're too blind to see And it's a long, long way from where you want to be Well, it's a long, long road and you're too blind to see And it's a long, long way
