Queen of the Cathode Ray

She's the queen of the cathode ray
Pretty to look at, not much to say
Queen of the cathode ray
Pretty to look at, not much to say

Since she left high school
She's never missed a beat
An avalanche of photographs
With fans all at her feet

Cameras flash, crowds amass
Don't seek a reason why
As shallow as a contact lense
But such a tempting lie

Chorus: repeat

When eloquence escapes her
She wears a fancy dress
When critics denigrate her
She'll be posing for the press

She'll last five years, maybe ten
Unless she dies quite young
If so you'll hear how great she was
For all the years to come

Chorus: repeat
