At the end of the day 
The end of the light 
She keeps the remains of all of her foes 
Miranda is dying with all of her might 
She never comes 
She always goes 

She sticks the camera right into her arm 
Anything to forget what the trouble's about 
It causes her pain That's part of the charm 
She's down for the count and finally out 

Miranda is taking the stars down
A little something to call her own
 But the lion still rules Miranda 
And Miranda is always alone

She sees her face in another magazine 
And the walls all close in as the fancy takes flight 
Can't stand to be loved 
But she loves to be seen 
She slips down headlong into the night 

Miranda is taking the stars down
A little something to call her own
 But the lion still rules Miranda 
And Miranda is always alone

And then all at once the sun starts to rise 
She sees her father holding her down 
All the daylight is poison to her eyes 
She slips down the shade and lets herself drown 

Miranda is taking the stars down 
A little something to call her own
 But the lion still rules Miranda 
And Miranda is always alone

The lights shine down in marina
All across her safety zone 
Loneliness follows Miranda
And Miranda is always alone
