Текст песни She Took a Lot of Pills (And Died) - Lucie Dolène , Oliver Wallace

With her drop-dead looks and her little girl charm
Everybody thought she'd go far
And at 20 years old she was rich as could be
And a world-famed Hollywood star

With the big parts coming
And the sweethearts, too
Life was a hell of a ride
But her star soon fell and her body got old
So she took a lot of pills and died

She took a lot of pills and died
She took a lot of pills and died
Her star soon fell and her body got old
So she took a lot of pills and died

While the traffic crawled by in the street outside
She was sitting in her kitchenette
Listening to the scuttle of the rats in the wall
And staring at her TV set

She once might have been
Too proud to be found
In a hovel on the lower East Side
But nothing in the world seemed
To matter much now
So she took a lot of pills and died

Now she hasn't been seen on the silver screen
And she never may be again
But every once in a while at the far end of the dial
You can see her how she was back then

In a soft close-up, with her hair backlit
She seemed to glow inside
Yeah, but something went wrong
'Cause forty years on
She took a lot of pills and died
