You have to wonder how she made it here
She left them standing in the final year
After growing up fast from an infant to a debutante
It didn’t take long to find that this ain’t what she really wants



You have to wonder how she got so far
She bought a basement and a classic car
She comes up home right out of the blue for a reconvene
It didn’t take long to find that things ain’t what they should have been



She was out, she was down, she was standing in the shadows
She was lost in a town that she used to know so well
She stood strong, held her head as she waited for a saviour
Standing in the shadows on the corner of Mulholland Avenue



You have to wonder how she lost the thread
She never listened to the things they said
From being part of the set she finds that she is on her own
But it didn’t take long for her to find this was no longer home



She was out, she was down, she was standing in the shadows
She was lost in a town that she used to know so well
She stood strong, held her head as she waited for a saviour
Standing in the shadows on the corner of Mulholland Avenue



She turns to find that she has got nowhere to go
She stands all alone like a spaceman riding in a rodeo

​

She was out, she was down, she was standing in the shadows
She was lost in a town that she used to know so well
She stood strong, held her head as she waited for a saviour
Standing in the shadows on the corner of Mulholland Avenue
