Sweet Sixteen Lyrics

Fade in, camera pan to her face

She's lonely, and people make her feel strange

She's saving, she's gonna get a new car

She knows that someday soon it'll take her real far

She's restless, she dreams of being a star

But dreaming, it's never gotten her far

She moves from Jersey to Californ-i-a

She drinks coffee and takes pills to start her day

She's caught in between the silver screen

She's giving up dreams of Sweet Sixteen

She finds some new friends, they're ones who get her real stoned

And on the west coast, she feels right at home

Every morning reach for the movie screen

She smokes and drinks all day so she can sleep

She gets a new job, it's one that actually pays

She moves to Paris to walk the runway

No more dreaming, she's finally dancing with fame

She's in the backstage lounge sniffing cocaine

She's caught in between the silver screen

She's giving up dreams of Sweet Sixteen

She's lost in the scene of a broken machine

She's giving up dreams of Sweet 16

She's caught in between the silver screen

She's giving up dreams of Sweet Sixteen

She's lost in the scene of a broken machine

She's giving up dreams of Sweet 16
