Barbie's First Flight
In the shadows of the building's of Babylon,
The only light you can read is neon,
She studied the sign until it made some kind of pathetic sense,
And the game show host he's such a charmer,
He looks so handsome in his armor,
And she feels like she's arrived in the perfect present tense.
She had wings but didn't realize she didn't know how to fly,
But oh what a view when you're poised on that ledge,
She was just born to believe she could never die, But the sky is your master once you've made a pilot's pledge.
See what the substance of this symbol can yield, Because we don't create we just build,
They translate her beauty to the stuttering cold touch of brail,
Now she discovers her pride is inedible,
Her only faith spent on the incredible,
And the potential income of the aftermarket value of the holy grail.
She had wings but didn't realize she didn't know how to fly,

And ironically reality is the new sensation,
So here's your bullet; your target is the sky, Nothing is as beautiful as the amorphous bulk of temptation.
Now she's prying for what she use to wish for,
A virgin with the conscience of a whore,
But this sacrifice just demands innocence not purity,
So with a lovely smile for the executioner,
Not even the cliff can disillusion her,
Proud to be a servant to the master of obscurity.
She had wings but didn't realize she didn't know how to fly,
Thought she was a taker taking didn't realize she was a buyer buying,
Success and failure the twin poles of ambition when all you can really do is try.
And she hit the ground before she realized she wasn't flying.
