lyrics

When she’s bad she’s best
A little Monroe a little Mae West
Dancing into the white light
Out of her mind and outta sight

Miss America is on the skids
Daddy left her with a couple of kids
she set fire to the drive in
Now there’s panic in the Valley of the Dolls

Can you feel it as the pressure drops
While she’s hiding out from the cops
With her back against the wall
It just makes no sense at all

Now she’s dancing till the dawn
Lying naked on your lawn
While the stars above you yawn
You know they’ve seen it all before

She goes from blonde to brunette
Smoking a marijuana cigarette

She will drag you from your bed
And she'll pull you under
You won’t feel the knife go in
You’ll just bleed and wonder

She'd tell you all about her life
But she hasn’t got the time
She says why worry about the past
Needles and pins

She’s outrageous and absurd
Till you can’t take it any more
So sick of hanging on every word
You just put your headphones on
Turn up Mott the Hoople
