I bought bright eye shadow on the King's Road
When my daughter was a very small girl
A saturated and rich eyelid load
That turned me into an exotic whirl
I twisted and sparkled like a Cosmic Queen
A Femme Fatale, an Infinite Force
Escaping the pressures, my daily scene
Lonely single Mother, post The Divorce
My beautiful daughter, now a pre-teen
Stole the compact for her U.S.A trip
She painted friends’ faces dazzling lime green
Using the special shades on someone's lip
This struck me as somehow so outrageous
But breaking spells is also courageous
