Текст песни Lulu (Introduction) (Natalie Merchant) с переводом

They said that Hollywood was

Never gonna be the same without you

Still, you’re gone

How could we forget that face

And all that silver, flickering grace

That died with the silent age?

When everybody knew your name;

They all knew your name

Born wild like a prairie flower

She was sown by the wind and blown for miles

Kansas couldn’t keep the child

Hell-bound for the Great White Way

For the tawdry-bawdy burlesque stage

And Wichita was miles and miles away

Everybody knew your name

Everybody knew your name

They knew your name

So you burned the candle

Burned it at both ends

So love ends in scandal

You burned it brief; you burned it bright

And the light in your immortal eyes

Is the light that will never die

Christened in straight-up gin

Pandora was born in Weimar Berlin

And that was the rise before the fall!

Everybody sat in the dark, dark, black as night

Everybody wanted to go where the light was so bright

And your shining face was gonna lead the way

Homecoming like a heroine-bride

But the honeymoon was over before you arrived

And now they all cursed your name

Everybody cursed your name

Cold winds of Gotham howled

And the princess pawned her celluloid crown

In the glass castle walls

Where nobody knew your name

Nobody knew your name
