lyrics

seven sisters sought a change
flew away to heaven in a silver aeroplane
someone shot the moon and missed
i think they must've hit the youngest sis.

six were left to start anew
three for me and three for you
let's send em off to hollywood
where they can all go on to be celebrities
as they're meant to be.

chelsea sings and heather stars
in nudist films and model cars
lisa swings and sara counts her cash
and jude writes books about veronica
the one we love the most

the one with the eyes
that speak both young and old
a punchdrunk face-lift set in stone
with her dial set to AMC, she had a dream
about going down on history.

heaven saw all heather's flaws
and gave chelsea a southern drawl
lisa's fat and sara can't do math
and jude went blind and plays harmonica
for veronica

the star of all stars
she's passed out in the sink
with her mind still set on history
i saw her face lit on a movie screen
it was dead, and pale, and seventeen

i took her back to the plane
it started to rain, she told me not to leave
"we are one in the same!"
oh! love, you've grown dull with age
your tasteless tongue shall never speak again.
