Poison – Fallen Angel
She stepped off the bus out into the city streets
Just a small town girl with her whole life packed
In a suitcase by her feet
But somehow the lights didn’t
shine as bright as they did
On her mama’s TV screen
And the work seemed harder
The days seemed longer
Than she ever thought they’d be
But you know you got to stick to your guns
When it all comes down
Cause sometimes you can’t choose
It’s like heads they win
Tails you’re gonna lose
Win big–Mama’s fallen angel
Lose big–livin’ out of lies
Wants it all–Mama’s fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin’ the dice of her life
Now she found herself in the fast lane livin’ day to day
Turned her back on her best friends
And watched the family slip away
Just like a lost soul
caught up in the Hollywood scene
All the parties and the limousines
Such a good actress hiding all her pain
Trading her memories for fortune and fame
Just a step away from the edge of a fall
Caught between heaven and hell
Where’s the girl I knew a year ago
Chorus
Too much too soon
Or just a little too late
Cause when the ship came in
She wasn’t there and it just wouldn’t wait
Just a small town girl with her whole life packed
In a suitcase by her feet
But somehow the lights didn’t
shine as bright as they did
On her mama’s TV screen
And the work seemed harder
The days seemed longer
Than she ever thought they’d be
But you know you got to stick to your guns
When it all comes down
Cause sometimes you can’t choose
It’s like heads they win
Tails you’re gonna lose
Win big–Mama’s fallen angel
Lose big–livin’ out of lies
Wants it all–Mama’s fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin’ the dice of her life
Now she found herself in the fast lane livin’ day to day
Turned her back on her best friends
And watched the family slip away
Just like a lost soul
caught up in the Hollywood scene
All the parties and the limousines
Such a good actress hiding all her pain
Trading her memories for fortune and fame
Just a step away from the edge of a fall
Caught between heaven and hell
Where’s the girl I knew a year ago
Chorus
Too much too soon
Or just a little too late
Cause when the ship came in
She wasn’t there and it just wouldn’t wait

Fácilmente se catalogó a Poison dentro de la corriente reconocida en los años 80 como glam metal, cuando ellos a lo más abrasivo que llegaban era a facturar hard rock con tintes melódicos y festivos. Su estética, como la de muchos otros conjuntos de Los Ángeles (aunque cuando se hacían llamar Paris todavía eran hijos de Pennsylvania), tomaba un poco de los New York Dolls al igual que un tanto del sin pretensiones glam rock setentas. Bret Michaels podría haber sido el centro de atención como todo buen vocalista que se precie en este tipo de casos (ya le pasó a Jon Bon Jovi en su quinteto), aunque seguramente tras repasar la historia de Kiss se dieron cuenta de la importancia de ganarse estéticas y personalidades distintas para cada componente. Así cada miembro se buscó una seña de identidad en su indumentaria, toda muy recargada por lo general.
