about

"On my album 'Lach Today', there's a secret cut of an impromptu bluesy version of my song 'Let's Make A Movie' and it occurred to me that it might work with a different lyric, that it sort of demanded to become its own song. I thought of the lyric I had written about a small town ingenue arriving in Hollywood to become an actress and it fit perfectly." - Lach

lyrics

She writes valentines to cities
She'd date a building if she could
Humanity's on fire
And she's out collecting wood

A hungry little huntress
In awe of sights and sounds
So far from her old forest
A brand new hunting ground

She's getting her headshot
So she'll have something to submit
Her submission's a decision
That she refuses to admit

And tomorrow will be too late
Her face will be frozen in time
As another fruit of Heaven
Drops withered from the vine

She's getting her headshot
So she'll have something to submit
Her submission's a decision
That she refuses to admit

city of corruption
city of greed
they don't got what you want
they don't got what you need

She writes valentines to cities
She'd date a building if she could
Humanity's on fire
And she's out collecting wood


She's getting her headshot
So she'll have something to submit
Her submission's a decision
That she refuses to admit
