Lyrics:

I'm preserving myself with make-up
Lookin' in the mirror
I'm preserving my life, I can take it
Shinin' in the spotlight

Preservation, lookin' in the mirror
Preservation, but they don't know
that I'm scrapin' it all off
Every night

I'm reserving my rights, reputation
Livin' in a movie, it's keepin' me lookin' right
When the secret is out to the public
Seein' is believin', they still
wanna be me at night
When the parts get shorter, the parties get harder
But that's alright

Preservation, lookin' in the mirror
Preservation, but they don't know
that I'm scrapin' it off
Every night

They're linin' up to make their entrance
When the word's out I'm in town,
they're not nice girls
But that's alright
They're lookin' so much better
when the lights go down
But nice girls is just a frame of mind

Preservation, lookin' in the mirror
Preservation, but they don't know
that I'm scrapin' it off
Every night
