Baby all the lights are turned on you |
|
Now you're in the center of the stage |
|
Everything revolves on what you do |
|
Ah, you are in your prime; you've come of age |
|
And you can always have your way somehow |
|
But everybody loves you now |
|
You can walk away from your mistakes |
|
You can turn your back on what you do |
|
Just a little smile is all it takes |
|
Yeah, you can have your cake and eat it too |
|
Loneliness will get to you somehow |
|
But everybody loves you now |
|
Ah, they all want your white body |
|
And they await your reply |
|
Ah, but between you and me and the Staten Island ferry |
|
So do I |
|
All the people want to know your name |
|
Soon there will be lines outside your door |
|
Feelings do not matter in your game |
|
Yeah, 'cause nothing's gonna touch you anymore |
|
So your life is only living anyhow |
|
And everybody loves you now |
|
Close your eyes when you don't want to see |
|
Stay at home when you don't want to go |
|
Only speak to those who will agree |
|
Yeah, and close your mind when you don't want to know |
|
You have lost you innocence somehow |
|
But everybody loves you now |
|
Ah, you know that nothing lasts forever |
|
And it's all been done before |
|
Ah, but you ain't got the time to go to Cold Spring Harbor |
|
No more |
|
See how all the people gather 'round |
|
Hey, isn't it a thrill to see them crawl? |
|
Keep your eyes ahead and don't look down |
|
Yeah, and lock yourself inside your sacred wall |
|
This is what you wanted; ain't you proud? |
|
'Cause everybody loves you now |
