Honest Glamour

After several hours
In your darkened den
I became suspicious
That there were other men

With their love of the cinema
Only matched by greed
Well, at least that takes the pressure off of me

For all your faded splendor, you are still a star to me
And what little glamor you have left, you have come by honestly

After several days
In the green hotel
I knew what I needed
To protect myself

And your vote of confidence
Is not what I need
To get my ashes hauled down Quantity Street

And for all your faded splendor, you are still a star to me
And the little glamor you have left, you have come by honestly

After several months
Of hide-and-go-seek
I was growing desperate
You were growing weak

Someone called an ambulance
And that's what caused the fall
You pulled down your shelf of awards and you, you broke them all

And for all your faded splendor, you are still a star to me
And what little glamor you have left, you have come by honestly
