The kings of America were falling out of fashion
|
The system systematically was shooting out their lights
|
Driven to the level of paparazzi comers
|
They bid the public an ugly goodnight
|
|
Well, the shaved and depraved
|
The concealed and the well-healed
|
The maintained and the drained
|
The walking dead and the well-read
|
|
All have a stake in the model and the make
|
Of the latest star attractions
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Can you tell us who's the next big thing
|
Can you tell us who's the next big thing
|
We know they ain't gonna last
|
But it's always a blast to devour every second
|
|
The girl in the pressure cooker's losing her mystique now
|
The brains at The Star say she's dying by degrees
|
With tales of self abuse and a criminal citation
|
Her sun is setting in the Hollywood sea
|
|
Well, the ares and the ain'ts
|
The gratified and the fried
|
The diseased and the pleased
|
The endowed and the street crowd
|
|
All want a piece of the latest release
|
To stroke the head of their condition
|
|
CHORUS

Next Big Thing
