Face on the Cutting Room Floor

She’s history\nNo one would give her a star on the walk\nShe’d have a hundred if pillows could talk\nwhere have I seen her before?\nshe’s the face on the cutting room floor\nIt’s no mystery\nacting in school at the tenderest age\nLit up the room when she stepped on the stage\nCame to LA for some more\nshe’s the face on the cutting room floor\nshe had visions of contracts\nand thousands of people in line\nto see her;\nknocking on door after door after all of this time,\nNow she’s not sure\nUp in Hollywood\nstayed with an agent she met in a bar\nlaughed when he told her he’d make her a star\nwhere has she heard that before?\nshe’s the face on the cutting room floor\nOne night he told her that she’d never get anywhere\nin her clothes\nthat’s what it takes to play movieland musical chairs
