lyrics

Tracing wrinkled skin with tears
She was a dying beauty
Trapped in magazine spreads
From the day that she was 13

Drowned in whiskey and gin
To hide her sorrows
She pulled the curtains back a bit
And took the stage

And you can shake me down
And you can throw me around
But I won't stop 'til the lights go down

Looking back on all her years
She was disappointed
Never found the man
She dreamed of in her lone apartment
Chasing back her gin with tears
And an old home movie
Tracing back through her years
To see where things were lost

And you can shake me down
And you can throw me around
But I won't stop 'til the light go down

And you can shake me down
And you can throw me around
But I won't stop 'til the light go down
And I won't stop 'til the party's out
