She Took A Lot Of Pills (& Died)
Lyricist:Robert William Fulks
With her drop-dead looks and her little girl charm Everybody thought she'd go far And at 20 years old she was rich as could be And a world-famed Hollywood star
With the big parts coming And the sweethearts, too Life was a hell of a ride But her star soon fell and her body got old So she took a lot of pills and died
She took a lot of pills and died She took a lot of pills and died Her star soon fell and her body got old So she took a lot of pills and died
While the traffic crawled by in the street outside She was sitting in her kitchenette Listening to the scuttle of the rats in the wall Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And staring at her TV set
She once might have been Too proud to be found In a hovel on the lower East Side But nothing in the world seemed To matter much now So she took a lot of pills and died
Now she hasn't been seen on the silver screen And she never may be again But every once in a while at the far end of the dial You can see her how she was back then
In a soft close-up, with her hair backlit She seemed to glow inside Yeah, but something went wrong 'Cause forty years on She took a lot of pills and died
