lyrics
Screen-test eyes and a grown-up look,
I fell in love with Patty Duke,
Not the blind, deaf, dumb girl,
Not the TV teenager.
The Valley of Dolls, a drink in her fist,
Sparkle neck, curled lip,
Slumps on the stairs and lets down her hair,
Greed anger lust and fear..
There is love in the air.
Mixing up dolls with alcohol shots,
They say I’m drunk even when I am not.
The actress behind the sadness and sorrow,
Look in her eyes, see through her soul.
Wipes a hand across her lips,
Cleans the stains from an angel face.
Why so sad in a diamond house?
Playful eyes, open mouth..
There is love in the air.
Mixing up dolls with alcohol shots,
They say I’m drunk even when I am not.
The actress behind the sadness and sorrow,
Look in her eyes, see through her soul.
We’re mixing up dolls with alcohol shots,
They say we’re drunk even when we are not.
The actress behind the sadness and sorrow,
Look in her eyes, see through her soul.
