Send "Title Track" Ringtone to Cell

All of the stage names evaporate And it's just a blood flushed and heart rushing rates Either to kick off too soon or stick around too late To be far too dear or too cut rate Hold my hand again like at the lake Hold that mirror babe, up to my face Hear the whippoorwill Am I breathing still? A Hollywood Babylon bikeathon for break dancers All broken down in their beds Now intravenously fed From a bag hanging over their heads Can I put you down for some miles? What do you say? ?Cause don't you know it's going to be a long, long way But if you've got the cash, I'm ready to bust my ass So take this thin broken down circus clown Reject and give her the name of a queen Don't I know her from the mezzanine? She didn't look like no princess to me But with the proper words bestowed And with her morning shoot, her evening clothes Don't call her a prostitute, well, she ain't one of those Just call her a proper little statue come unfroze

    General Comment:I've thought a lot about what I think this song means, and I think it's about celebrity and popular media. Especially the last verse, which reminds me a lot of the situation that I kept hearing about involving Britney Spears. Everyone seemed to be talking about what she was up to, what she was doing, there was a lot of bad language being thrown around about her (is it still that way?).
    I'd go on, but I'm having trouble making the case for it from what I understand in my head.

    General Comment:The last line makes sense. A proper little statue come unfroze, as in a statue who has come to life.

    Good song

    General Comment:I'm sorry, the last line doesn't make sense. I tried to hear something else but that's all I could get.
