[]Traded in your []evening gown
[]For a jumpsuit
of []pain
[]The beauty queen []and the wallflower
[]Feel the same in their []darkest hours

[]Falls from the old guard []tower
[]She walked down the []runway
A []crown of jewels she []wore
[]Applause and lights, but at the []end of the night
[]She was the first out the []door

[]Arrived in the early day []light
[]Flash of a knife, a nice []evening dress
[]Couldn t change her man s []mind
