Under the moonlight
Hand in hand
Under the influence, they took a chance
They say that Hollywood is bad for lovers
They held onto one another
And she closed her eyelids
As they danced in brilliant silence

Morning came and they said their goodbyes
As she boarded a plane for the fame and the lights
His eyes fell to the floor
He said “I don’t know what you’re looking for-
I hope you find it”
There was brilliant silence

In three weeks all her money was gone
Someone stopped her on the street
Said “how’d you like a job?”
But the producer said she was wrong
We need your hair to be blonde
So she dyed it
And she wept in brilliant silence

She got in line with the other girls
They gave her a dress and some floating pearls
Led her to hair and makeup
And explained the scene
You’ll be in the background
A song and dance routine
Just move around and fake a smile
Pretend that you’re having fun
And if you’re nervous, don’t worry
You’re not the only one
Just try to hide it
She danced in brilliant silence
The telephone rings, she wipes the sleep from her eyes
He says “hey it’s me” and she cracks a smile
She tells him that she’s getting by
And that it's only a matter of time
And the line goes quiet
They sat in brilliant silence
