lyrics

Filament (Buddy Mondlock)

CHORUS
The spotlight couldn’t pin her down
She burned brighter
Radio tubes couldn’t hold her sound
She burned brighter
Stars just fell in the river and drowned
She burned brighter
That was me in the wings
I couldn’t see that a filament is a fragile thing

She had talent from an early age
The little girl who sang everyone off the stage
She got groomed and she got signed
Did she mind?
No one thought to ask her at the time

But…(CHORUS)

Two hit records and a world tour
A bad girl image the artiste du jour
I got hired on to mind the road
Make sure she showed
So everybody got what they were owed

But…(CHORUS)

She came to me once in Amsterdam
Makeup running she just took my hand
Kissed me hard and said my name
All that pain
Looking for an eye in the hurricane

The ambulance came to a stop
She burned brighter
Flashbulbs flickered, fried and popped
She burned brighter
The sun came up and my heart dropped
She burned brighter
That was me in the wings
I couldn’t see that a filament is a fragile thing
A filament is a fragile thing
A filament is a fragile thing
