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
|
‘Cause 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
|
And 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
|
Ah, U have lost your 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
|
Ah, this is what you wanted; ain't you proud?
|
'Cause everybody loves you now
|
