She was wearing makeup
Like a movie star
Leaning on the jukebox, oh
She dreamed that she was posing
Just for a screen test
At the Century Fox, oh oh

She seemed comfortable in her skin
Her eyes the color of mint water
Searching for a spotlight
The god projector

And me, I couldn't take it anymore
Of course, she didn't see me
Lost in her megalomania
I was superfluous

She walked like a cat
Disdaining her prey
Brushing against the pinball machine, ah
The song that covered
All the words she mimed
Seemed to break her heart, oh oh

She was doing a bit too much
The girl with the mint water eyes
Hollywood is in her head
All alone, she rehearses

Her entrance into a studio
Set the color of mint water
Lost in her megalomania
I am superfluous

But a guy walked in
And the charm fell
Stopping the pinball machine, oh
Her black eyes launched
Aggressiveness
At the poor jukebox, oh no

The girl with the mint water eyes
Put away her megalomania
And submitted to the black eyes
The color of the sidewalk

And me, I couldn't take it anymore
She never knew
My prettiest of myths
The color of mint water
