Pandora's Box (It's A Long, Long Way) - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

Born in kansas

On an ordinary plain

Ran to new york

But ran away from fame

Only seventeen

When all your dreams came true

But all you wanted

Was someone to undress you

And all the stars you kissed

Could never ease the pain

Still the grace remains

And though the face has changed

You’re still the same

And it’s a long long way

From where you want to be

And it’s a long long way

But you’re to blind to see

Frame of silence

Of an innocence divine

Is a dangerous creation

When you fail the test of time

And all the photographs

Of ghosts of long ago

Still they hurt you so

Won’t let you go

And you still don’t know

And it’s a long long way

From where you want to be

An it’s a long long way

But you’re to blind to see

When you look around yourself now

Do you recognize the girl

The one who broke a thousand hearts

Terrified the world

And all the stars you kissed

Could never ease the pain

And if the face has changed

The grace remains

And you’re still the same

And it’s a long long way

From where you want to be

An it’s a long long way

But you’re to blind to see…
