lyrics

a damning testimony from a close friend
the headlines say you're hanging by a clothespin
who would pay a penny for your secrets
i could write those dream scenes while i'm sleeping

accidental glamour
didn't mean to turn you on

the court room sketch it showed you crack a smile
if looks could kill you wouldn't need a trial
you moved on from desperation to denial
to depression to anger then to Ohio

accidental glamour
didn't see you standing there

and how long have you been watching what i'm doing?
and how long did it take 'til you'd seen through it?

a maze of backroads then you hit the turnpike
changed your name and started working part-time
the cameras caught your face right as it turned white
flashed before my eyes just like a past life

accidental glamour
tripped and landed in your prime
but you were once a friend of mine
