Face On The Cutting Room Floor

Face On The Cutting Room Floor - Nathan Carter

She's history

No one would give her a star on the walk

She'd have a hundred if pillows could talk

Where have I seen her before

She's the face on the cutting room floor

It's no mystery

Acting in school at the tenderest age

Lit up the room when she stepped on the stage

Came to LA for some more

She's the face on the cutting room floor

She had visions of contracts

And thousands of people in line

To see her;

Knocking on door after door after all of this time

Now she's not sure

Up in Hollywood

Stayed with an agent she met in a bar

Laughed when he told her he'd make her a star

Where has she heard that before

She's the face on the cutting room floor

One night he told her that

She'd never get anywhere

In her clothes

That's what it takes to play

Movieland musical chairs

Now she knows

Goodbye Hollywood

Leaving tonight on the 2:30 'hound

Sunrise or sunset she won't be around

But they'll replace her with so many more

She's the face on the cutting room floor

Poor little face on the cutting room floor

Face on the cutting room floor
