Face On The Cutting Room Floor lyrics

She`s history
No one would give her a star on the walk
She`d have a hundred if pillows could talk
where have I seen her before?
she`s the face on the cutting room floor

It`s no mystery
acting in school at the tenderest age
Lit up the room when she stepped on the stage
Came to LA for some more
she`s the face on the cutting room floor

she had visions of contracts
and thousands of people in line
to see her;
knocking on door after door after all of this time,
Now she`s not sure

Up in Hollywood
stayed with an agent she met in a bar
laughed when he told her he`d make her a star
where has she heard that before?
she`s the face on the cutting room floor

One night he told her that she`d never get anywhere
in her clothes
that`s what it takes to play movieland musical chairs
now she knows

Goodbye Hollywood
leaving tonight on the 2:30 `hound
sunrise or sunset she won`t be around
but they`ll replace her with so many more
she`s the face on the cutting room floor
poor little face on the cutting room floor
