Lyrics
SLIPSTREAM
I know a pretty woman who knew suffering
from the day that she was born
she stood in the sun but only felt the rain
roses are red from the blood of the thorns
I know a little girl who cries herself to sleep
since her mother went away
and spent her last breath somewhere out west
on the walk of fame
(chorus)
she floated away in the smoke of hollywood
she got lost in the slipstream
may you never lose your will to live
and love and give and dream
(lead break)
some say a pretty woman is born with a key
to love and happiness
let's ask Marilyn or was it Norma Jean
in peace may she rest
(repeat chorus)
(outro)
I know a little girl who cries herself to sleep
