Bright Lights, Big City movie - To Model lyrics

rate me

<br>

Amanda:<br>

To model is to show the world<br>

The power of a beautiful illusion<br>

To model it to wallow in a blissful state<br>

Of chaos and confusion<br>

The catwalk, the bitch talk<br>

The ulcers, the menopause at twenty-five<br>

To model, to model is to fly<br>

To model is to never have to go back to my Kansas City trailer<br>

To model is to lose the fear I always used to feel<br>

Of future failure<br>

The flashbulbs, the camera wall<br>

The media, the big cocaine in the upstairs lounge<br>

To model, to model is to get me high<br>

Didn’t I wanna be somebody?<br>

Didn’t I wanna be someone?<br>

Remember when I met you?<br>

Me, the little flower girl from Kansas<br>

All my glossy magazines and magic dreams<br>

Of Studio 54, the Plaza Hotel<br>

Mama said don’t marry you, he’ll run off like they always do<br>

Like all her husbands did before<br>

Mommy’s now on husband number four<br>

Men always leave<br>

But there you were, a boy with a book<br>

Moving East, take me to<br>

Bright lights, big city<br>

Bright lights, big city, yeah<br>

<br>

Jamie:<br>

Remember when we took that horse and carriage<br>

Through the park and walked to Tiffany?<br>

Lunch at the Four Seasons<br>

Talking marriage and the giving up of liberty<br>

The wedding bells, the cocktail check<br>

That funny little hat you wore when walking down the aisle<br>

I miss your smile, I miss your smile<br>

<br>

Amanda:<br>

To model is to finally see another side of me<br>

That was in hiding<br>

To model is to shut my eyes and float upon this fantasy<br>

I’m riding<br>

I like it, I love it<br>

The world outside my window every morning when I rise<br>

I open up my eyes to see<br>

To model is to release the me inside<br>

You can see me Thursday <br>

I’ll be modeling on MTV<br>

<br>
