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'll show you her scars

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

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 strong
She'll show you her scars
She'll show you her scars
