Lyrics
Loaded gun
There's no way of knowing if she cares
She lights another cigarette
She says she knows she will regret
And stares
Her husband's a slob
They've been working the same job
For the last twenty years
Well hey it pays the bills
But gone are the thrills
They're in the past that's what she fears
Where's the girl who used to dream?
Where's that hidden fantasy?
Did it leave one night on the ray of a setting sun?
Where's the girl who once said "Just shoot me when I'm dead"
Well darlin' I think we got us a loaded gun
For every little girl on the TV screen
There's a dream teen queen on a magazine
For every superstar there's a milion who are
Tryin' to get to Holywood in dady's new car
She musta justa worn out till she couldn't see
She had an accidental manditory family
Now the years roll by and she's too old to try
Things are'nt what they seem in a cloud she's been...
