Lyrics

Tonya Harding, my star
 Well this world is a cold one
 But it takes one to know one
 And God only knows what you are
 Just some Portland white trash
 You confronted your sorrow
 Like there was no tomorrow
 While the rest of the world only laughed
 Triple axel on high
 A delightful disaster
 You jumped farther and faster
 You were always so full of surprises
 Are your laces untied?
 What's the frown on your face for?
 And just what are the skates for now?
 Tell me which is your good side?
 Are you lonely at night?
 Do you miss all the glory
 And the mythical story
 Of the Olympian life?
 ♪
 Yamaguchi in red
 She had high rise and roses
 And red-carpet poses
 And her outfit was splendid
 Nancy Kerrigan's charm
 Well she took quite a beating
 So you're not above cheating
 Can you blame her for crying?
 Tonya, you were the brightest
 Yeah you rose from the ashes
 And survived all the crashes
 Wiping the blood from your white tights
 Has the world had its fun?
 Yeah they'll make such a hassle
 And they'll build you a castle
 Then destroy it when they're done
 ♪
 Tonya Harding, my friend
 Well this world is a bitch, girl
 Don't end up in a ditch, girl
 I'll be watching you close to the end
 So fight on as you are
 My American princess
 May God bless you with incense
 You're my shining American star
 (Shining American star)
 (Shining American star)
 (Shining American star)
 (Shining American star)
