[Verse 1]
At the end of the day
The end of the light
She keeps the remains of all of her foes
Miranda is dying with all of her might
She never comes
She always goes
She sticks the camera right into her arm
Anything to forget what the trouble's about
It causes her pain
That's part of the charm
She's down for the count then finally out

[Chorus]
Miranda is taking the stars down
A little something to call her own
But the lion still rules Miranda
And Miranda is always alone

[Verse 2]
She sees her face in another magazine
And the walls all close in as the fancy takes flight
Can't stand to be loved
But she loves to be seen
She slips down headlong into the night
[Chorus]
Miranda is taking the stars down
A little something to call her own
But the lion still rules Miranda
And Miranda is always alone

[Verse 3]
And then all at once the sun starts to rise
She sees her father holding her down
All the daylight is poison to her eyes
She slips down the shade and lets herself drown

[Chorus]
Miranda is taking the stars down
A little something to call her own
But the lion still rules Miranda
And Miranda is always alone

[Chorus Variation]
The lights shine down the marina
All across her safety zone
But loneliness follows Miranda
And Miranda is always alone
Miranda is always alone
Miranda is always alone
