Born in Kansas on an ordinary plain   Ran to New York but ran away from fame   Only seventeen when all your dreams came true   But all you wanted was someone to undress you      And all the stars you kissed   Could never ease the pain   Still the grace remains   The face has changed and it's still the same      And it's a long long way   From where you want to be   And it's a long long road   But you're too blind to see      Frame of silence   Of an innocence divine   Is a dangerous creation   When you fail the test of time      And all the photographs   Of ghosts of long ago   Still they hurt you so   Won't let you go   And you still don't know      And it's a long long way   From where you want to be   And it's a long long road   But you're too blind to see      When you look around yourself now   Do you recognize the girl?   The one who broke a thousand hearts   Terrified the world      And all the stars you kissed   Could never ease the pain   And if the face has changed   The grace remains and you're still the same      And it's a long long way   From where you want to be   And it's a long long road   But you're too blind to see      And it's a long long way   From where you want to be   And it's a long long road   And you're too blind to see      And it's a long long way   From where you want to be   And it's a long long road   And you're too blind to see      And it's a long long way   From where you want to be   And it's a long long road
