Face on The Cutting Room Floor — текст песни (nitty gritty dirt band)

Shes history

No one would give her a star on the walk

Shed have a hundred if pillows could talk

Where have I seen her before?

Shes the face on the cutting room floor



Its no mystery

Acting in school at the tenderest age

Lit up the room when she stepped on the stage

Came to la for some more

Shes the face on the cutting room floor



She had visions of contracts

And thousands of people in line

To see her;

Knocking on door after door after all of this time,

Now shes not sure



Up in hollywood

Stayed with an agent she met in a bar

Laughed when he told her hed make her a star

Where has she heard that before?

Shes the face on the cutting room floor



One night he told her that shed never get anywhere

In her clothes

Thats what it takes to play movieland musical chairs

Now she knows



Goodbye hollywood

Leaving tonight on the 2:30 hound

Sunrise or sunset she wont be around

But theyll replace her with so many more

Shes the face on the cutting room floor

Poor little face on the cutting room floor
