[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
