TV Girl - Death Of A augmentedA Party Girl
Excerpt from "Crime Classics":
N.C.
"She was found wandering through the city clothed in night apparel.
She drank and raved over her broken hopes.
She was found groping through the dark through the holes of public buildings.
And one day, she was no longer young..."
Intro:
N.C.
"Sit here with me for a while, talk to me
N.C. F9F9
Where did you go when you went from me, long ago?
G+G F9F9
You always go away! There is always the sound of you going away
G+G F9F9 G+G F9F9
Why do I come here? Remember, remember once. Remember once!"
Verse 1:
G+G F9F9
She was sexy she was sweet, running barefoot in the street
G+G F9F9
Sipping wine out of a flask, drinking vodka by the glass
G+G F9F9 G+G F9F9
Yeah she used to knock 'em back, as fast as they would line them up
Verse 2:
G+G F9F9
Still sexy but she's sad, and the headache's coming on
G+G F9F9
Only dancing out of habit, she doesn't recognize the song
G+G F9F9 G+G F9F9
How can the nights be getting long, when time feels like it's speeding up
Verse 3:
G+G F9F9
She used to crush the pill right between her fingers
G+G F9F9
It used to kill the feeling but now the feeling lingers
G+G F9F9
And she did the drugs for fun, but now she does them just to stay up
G+G F9F9
Just to stay up

Just to stay up
G+G F9F9
Just to stay up
G+G F9F9
Just to stay up

Verse 4:
G+G F9F9
Incognito at the bar, she could tell he was a star
G+G F9F9
By the way he wore his baseball cap slung low across his eyes
G+G F9F9 G+G F9F9
While beauties live and die, these playboys stay forever young
Verse 5:
G+G F9F9
Which handsome stylish rake, puts his hands around her waist
G+G F9F9
As she stumbles up the stairs in a state of perfect grace?
G+G F9F9 G+G F9F9
They would hold her just to hold her, but now it's 'cause she can't stand up
Verse 6:
G+G F9F9
Running for the pleasure, wearing down the flesh
G+G F9F9
And she has to go to sleep now, when she used to go to bed

Eyes closed because she felt it but now it's 'cause she can't wake up
