Lulu Lyrics - Natalie Merchant - Natalie Merchant

They said that Hollywood was 

Never gonna be the same without you 

Still, you're gone 

How could we forget that face 

And all that silver flickering grace 

That died with the silent age? 

When everybody knew your name 

They all knew your name 

Born wild like a prairie flower 

She was sown by the wind and blown for miles 

Kansas couldn't keep the child 

Hell-bound for the Great White Way 

For the tawdry-bawdy burlesque stage, and 

Wichita was miles and miles away 

Everybody knew your name 

Everybody knew your name 

They knew your name 

So you burned the candle 

Burned it at both ends 

So love ends in scandal 

Burned it brief 

You burned it bright 

And the light in your immortal eyes 

Is the light that'll never die 

Christened in straight-up gin 

Pandora was born in Weimar Berlin 

And that was the rise before the fall 

Everybody sat in the dark, dark, black as night 

Everybody wanted to go where the light was so bright 

And your shining face was gonna lead the way 

Home-coming like a heroine bride 

But the honeymoon was over before you arrived 

And now they all cursed your name 

Everybody cursed your name 

Cold winds of Gotham howled 

And the princess pawned her celluloid crown in the glass castle walls 

Where nobody knew your name 

Nobody knew your name
