You’re A Star |
|
Your plans were to go right to the sky You never could see that your ship was sinking You watched your youth go flying by You burned through drugs then turned to drinking And never even asked the reason why
Did you ever think who… Would pay the price for all those years you sort of wasted Did you ever think why… You would want to be on the cover of a magazine Did you ever think what… You would discover if you weren’t always basted Did you ever think when… Your life would seem to be more than a dream
22 years of thinking got you this far And yes you’re a star
Your time was never really your own You never could choose what to think or what to do Your pants & skirts were all selected Your makeup was as thick as glue Your appearance was by force perfected But there never was much time for being you
Did you ever think who… Was the girl behind that multicolored glitter Did you ever think why… No one ever called you on the phone Did you ever think what… The choices were that you never even considered Did you ever think when… You’d be left hungry like a dog without a bone
Chorus
Your parents made you over into just what they wanted Your mom treated you like a cupcake on a plate They threw your games into the alley They never let you be a kid Not one chance to play with Sally And they made you what you are today
Did you ever think who… Would get the money that your parents are collecting Did you ever think why… They took from you the lessons of a life Did you ever think what… Would happen if you stopped them from prospecting Did you ever think when… You might actually want to be a wife
Chorus
The story has no happy ending Even brass & silver turn to rust You may think you will last forever But my money says you got it wrong You’re not that pretty, you’re not that clever And there is no place you quite belong
Did you ever think who… Could make you sound like last week’s conversation Did you ever think why… Your agent just signed three other deals Did you ever think what… Would happen in a different situation Did you ever think when… The icing on the cake congeals
22 years of thinking got you this far Oh yeah I almost forgot You’re a star
