maybelline

i see a picture perfect world, seems like i can't escape it, each turn the writing on the wall, tells me to face the music, i can't compete although i try, too far below the surface, bright lights are never what they seem, you've got to see in person, i don't know what they see when they look at me, i don't care but they all see it differently, i don't know what they see when they look at me, but i can hear them say, go vogue for your life like you must be seen, pose like the pictures in the magazine, yeah, beauty is pain but the pleasure's free, born to be loved like a maybelline, look what the photoshop made up, now shop the photo's make up, we learn at such an early age, admire but don't be jealous, i saw a pretty girl by the side of the road, thumb up in the air and a winter coat, i knew that she was carrying a heavier load, i thought that i could get her where she wanted to go, she looked so good with a dangerous style and, i liked the way she talked with a magical smile, she said, "i could be a star if the planets align", so i took her on a ride to deliver the shine,
