They lifted a glass
once a writer
now a tramp
once an actress
then a vamp

knew people on the top
but it didn't change minds
cause the words diffused
and the acting
stopped hearts

they said it was over
run out of work
thrown out of home
now in rags
forever seduced

shot of wine
glasses divine
run out for money
didn't change their world
they worked fine
acted plenty
clicked a glass
or two

those people on top
hit bottoms too
run for their lives
out of broken homes
drank from empty
vessels
broken glasses.

We all don't know what it is like until we lose what we had...makes you learn to appreciate life more.
