Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

Scars

She’ll sing you a song a bird in a cage

Do you want one that’s tender do you want one with rage

After you’ve listened throw her away

Now forgotten once all the rage

She sits in her crumbling dressing-room

With nothing but her age lines to groom

Remember her name she was a star

If you ask her politely she’ll show you her scars

You read on her tomb she sang that old tune

The one where the boy and the girls love it is doomed

Remember the song it didn’t last long

Her voice it was weak the tune it was st
