Lyrics Erin McKeown

Erin McKeown

Cosmopolitans

Cosmopolitans and ladies

Looking for pills and draperies

Seperate bedrooms and attached baths

While the precious don't quite understand and

Quietly slip off to beauty

Painless don't you wish you were weightless

Famous from this moment your faded

Panic makes quite a morning cocktail of insecurity

A fallen pancake breakfast for two and

The ladies choose of partners varies

From evening to evening

The loneliness is expected if not predicted

Small time and you're dreaming of the big lights

Screen life you went looking for a good time

Painless don't you wish you were weightless

Famous from this moment you're faded

A life on the boards spilled over to the coast

And maybe down to the beach

It's a new medium pleasure to

Re-take and re-shoot only

To pull focus before distribution

Small time and you're dreaming of the big lights

Screen life you went looking for a good time

Painless don't you wish you were weightless

Famous from this moment you're faded

Advice, agents, and taped late night whiskey

Tiny cups for a tiny lady

Opera heels are swiftly growing indecent

And a lady in descent

Falling forward towards the

Cosmopolitans and ladies

Looking for pills in draperies

Small time and you're dreaming of the big lights

Screen life you went looking for a good time

Painless don't you wish you were weightless

Famous from this moment you're faded
