Delicate moment
Saw you again
Leap year summer
Presence drew in
Flies of success read more »

Angry faces, cursing loud,
Changing places, falling proud
Behind the bomb, no one cares,
Time is money
We're taught to tear read more »

(3:09)
Baby monoxide comes into town on a greyhound bus looking rather
brown, orders a bottle puts it away orders another
and proceeds to say, we lean on each other through
this success bitch at each other an it makes a mess read more »

Defeat our purpose
But just which fate is worse?

How long can we go on?
We cannot sell ourselves
We'll take it on our terms
No easy path to resist success
You sell out, cash flows in
Your sickly glitter grin read more »

You get a taste it ain't enough
To eat your fill you need the stuff
You think you're there about to land
But is the trip just what you planned
You're falling, yes you're falling read more »

I'm your God I've just arrived
A beatbox Jesus dancing jive

WELL I GUESS I`VE BEEN A LONG TIME
WORKING IN THE BACKLINE
TRYIN` TO MAKE A SONG FIT
YOU KNOW IT NEVER WAS MINE
TWO DOLLAR HI-HEEL SHOES AND A HONKY TONK DRESS
IN THE RHYTHM AN THE SOUL REVUES
I HAD A DREAM I GUESS
YES YES

AND I HAD TO BEAT THE STAGEFRIGHT
I HAD TO CRY ALL NIGHT
TRYIN` TO MAKE A SONG FIT
YOU KNOW IT NEVER WAS MINE
I SAID GIRL, GET UP AND GET OUT OF THIS MESS
YOU`RE GONNA BE AN OVERNIGHT SENSATION
BE AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS

AND ALL THROUGH THE BADLANDS
ROCKING ON THE BANDSTANDS
IT`S SO HARD IN THE BAR BANDS
THAN THERE`S NOONE THERE WHO UNDERSTANDS
AND LADY LUCK`LL PASS HER BY
AND SHE`LL NEVER SAY YES
YOU`RE GONNA BE AN OVERNIGHT SENSATION
GONNA BE AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS

WELL I USED TO BE A SWEET LITTLE ROCK`N`ROLL SINGER
CHASING AFTER FORTUNE AND FAME
WHAT`S YOUR STORY WHAT`S YOUR PAYOLA
ME I`M IN THE MUSIC GAME

WELL I GUESS I`VE BEEN A LONG TIME
WORKING IN THE BACKLINE
TRYIN` TO MAKE A SONG FIT
YOU KNOW IT NEVER WAS MINE
WHAT CAN I TELL YOU
I MADE A BREAK I GUESS
NOW I`M AN OVERNIGHT SENSATION
I`M AN OVERNIGHT
I`M AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS read more »

The circus is full of smoke
After all this years
Some were good, some were bad
Didn’t know what I was about to start when I started
Though I wrote it all down
God, I was so naive!
When you’re on the show, you’ve got to shoot not to sing read more »
