Pretty little hair-do don't do what it used to
Can't disguise the living
All the miles that we've been through
Looking like a train wreck
Wearing too much makeup
The burden that you carry
Is more than one soul could ever bare
[Chorus]
Don't look so sad, Marina
There's another part to play
Don't look so sad, Marina
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
You never make your mind up
Like driving with your eyes shut
Rough around the edges
Won't someone come and take you home
Waiting for a breakthrough
What will you set your mind to?
We stood outside the Chinese restaurant in the rain
[Chorus]
Can't disguise the living
All the miles that we've been through
Looking like a train wreck
Wearing too much makeup
The burden that you carry
Is more than one soul could ever bare
[Chorus]
Don't look so sad, Marina
There's another part to play
Don't look so sad, Marina
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
You never make your mind up
Like driving with your eyes shut
Rough around the edges
Won't someone come and take you home
Waiting for a breakthrough
What will you set your mind to?
We stood outside the Chinese restaurant in the rain
[Chorus]

Short version: it's about the human condition
There's another part to play"
A little girl is upset she didn't get the part in the school play. But the singer, with age and wisdom, recognizes how trivial the problem is.
