Superstar

Original

Proud of you

Did everything that you said you'd do

Graduated girls with their art degrees

Now your new one walks runways, she's on TV

But you're dead inside

She doesn't call when the tide gets high

Pushed so hard to see your name in lights

Stared too long, now it's turned you blind

It gets cold, so cold

But I guess now you know

This is what you live for

Big dreams since a kid for

What more, what more could you wish for?

Baby, look at where you are

You're a superstar

This is what you'd die for

Codeine when the night falls

Dark thoughts, step away from the knife drawn

Baby, look at where you are

You're a superstar

We know the truth

Don't make me drag it out of you

The pretty crystals, how you depend on 'em

Jaw swings like a pendulum

And now you're ghosting at teatime and wasting away

Bad lies, chapped lips and drinking through pain

Everything's changing, yet you are the island that stayed the same

This is what you live for

Big dreams since a kid for

What more, what more could you wish for?

Baby, look at where you are

You're a superstar

This is what you'd die for

Codeine when the night falls

Dark thoughts, step away from the knife drawn

Baby, look at where you are

You're a superstar

Baby, look at where you are

You're a superstar
