Starlet with a Needle
(Austin and Elliott, from 13 Songs Plus)
Chris Elliott
The grave digger's daughter
is digging Daddy a grave
one September morning
Leave burn and blow away
What goes high comes down harder
What's good you throw away
What you keep inside comes out stronger
Baby you'll never change
Don't you know it's only human to kill a beautiful thing
a starlet with a needle, a girl on a swing
What goes high comes down harder
What's good you throw away
What you keep inside comes out stronger
Baby, you'll never change
Baby you'll never change
Proud flags are waving. Limousines flash in the sun
There's nothing worse than watching the old bury the young
What goes high comes down harder
What's good you throw away
What you keep inside comes out stronger
Baby, you'll never change
What goes high comes down harder
What's good you throw away
What you keep inside comes out stronger
Leaves burn and blow away
