STEVIE NICKS
"Mabel Normand / You Change Sides"

Through the show...
She's natural in her beauty
I guess you could say she's an unapproachable comedienne...
Haven't much faith in her talent
Still she did her work,
No comedienne lives life as a clown...
She did her work,
But her heart was quietly crying
I guess she even felt guilty
'Bout even dying
Poor Mabel Normand

So my friend is continuing
On a destructive road
His life passes before him like an
Unfortunate circumstance
He and his friend are at odds
And he is not winning...
Why does someone always have to win?
He says it matters...
Strange things do follow when you love someone
So you put them in exile
Thought I'd call you Beloved Exile...

He called today
Says, "Don't give up"
I ask him, "What are you talking about?"
I said things are not the same...
Since you've been gone Rome burned down
And it's still all the same
So I moved away from the house that held nothing
But waiting for messages
All through the day's seasons
We're running with the sun
And I prayed every day for the answers
In a still and almost silent night
He began to hide his beauty
And I learned to say the words
Well, just whose side are you on, anyway?
And what does it matter?
You change sides
What does it matter?
Still you change...sides
Every other day you just change sides

Well, her life was a gas
Simply everything that happened
Well, they say it was sad
They say it was sad...
So, continue on your destructive road
Your life passes before me
Like an unknown circumstance
You and your friend are at odds
You are not winning
Why does someone always have to win?
And all those races that are run
They cause patterns
Strange things do follow when you love someone
So you put that someone in exile
And you say, "I'll write a book about it and call it Beloved Exile"

Well, her life was a gas
Simply everything that happened
Well, the old lady said, yes it was sad
She fought a losing battle
One day at a time
She might even make it through tomorrow
Maybe another show, natural in her beauty
I guess you could say she was just unapproachable
Baby, so beautiful...
