Platinum Blonde - Prelude

Well she wanted to go on the stage

No one could stop her she felt like she was in a cage

Her mind was made up, her heart was set on it

but she would’nt listen

So her father worked every night

her mother was crying when the train pulled out of sight

when the letter arived thay could hardly wait cause it read…

(DAUGHTER)

Mother & Father I’ve met a young man

who thinks he can help me with all of my plans

he going to give me a start it’s a very small part as a plainum blonde

So they waited & waited for weeks

when no word arived the tears ran down her cheek

And when it finaly came they felt somehow to blame cause it read…

(DAUGHTER)

Mother & Father I’m doing allright

i’m going away for a while so don’t write it’s not for the money you know it’s

a respectable show called the platinum blonde

Can you read between the lines

Can you read between the lines

Can you read between the lines

Can you read between the lines

So he packed his bag and got on a train

told his wife he was of to see his brother in Main

When he got into town he looked for the show call the platinum blonde

Through the red lights & smoke on the stage

he watched daughter preforme & in Shame &

Rage he turned his head away he could almost hear say…

(DAUGHTER)

Father Oh Father you’ve got it all wrong

i like it right hear this is where i belong

it might not be Shakespear but i’m happyier hear as a platinum blonde

Can you read between the lines

Can you read between the lines

Can you read between the lines

Can you read between the lines

So he waited behind the stage door

when his daughter came out the first thing she saw

Was the gun in his, a flash of light,

and then nothing more

His called up on the phone

she sounded so happy & he felt all alone

what that you say we got a letter today

and it read…

(DAUGHTER)

Mother & Father I’m on my way home

iv’e missed you so much and been so alone

i always knew you where right this is

my very last night as a platinum blond

Can you read between the lines

Can you read between the lines

Can you read between the lines

Can you read between the lines
