Superstar (feat. Matthew Santos)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

If you are what you say you are

A superstar

Then have no fear

The camera's here

And the microphones

And they wanna know

Oh oh oh oh

If you are what you say you are

A superstar

Then have no fear

The crowd is here

And the lights are on

And they want a show

Oh oh oh oh

Yea, uh

A fresh cool young Lu

Trying to cash his microphone check 2, 1, 2

Want to believe my own hype but it's too untrue

The world brought me to my knees

What have you brung you

Did you improve on the design

Did you do something new

Well your name ain't on the guest list

Who brung you, you

The more famous person you come through

And the sexy lady next to you

You come to

And then it hit me

Standing outside of heaven waiting for god to come and get me

Im too uncouth

Unschooled to the rules

And two gum shoe

Too much of a newcomer

And too uncool

Like Shadow and Lavelle

I battle with it well

Though I need a holiday like lady who song blue

Go back what ever you did you undo

Heavy is heaven

The devil on my two tons too

If you are what you say you are

A superstar

Then have no fear

The camera's here

And the microphones

And they wanna know

Oh oh oh oh

And you better wear your shades

The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage

Down through the basement

Passed the Indian graves

Where the dinosaurs laid

And out through china

Nearly misses air liners

Magnified times five

This is pointed at the rhymer

Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest a blaze

Now that's important to say

Cuz even with all of that

Most of us don't want it to fade

We want it to braid

Meaning we want it to grow

Meaning we want it to stay

Like the governor called

And they told him to wait

Un-strap him from the chair

And put him back in his cage

The audience ain't fazed

And they ain't gone clap and they ain't gone praise

They want everything back that they paid

Cuz they been waiting since ten to see the lights get dim

If you are what you say you are

A superstar

Then have no fear

The crowd is here

And the lights are on

And they want a show

Oh oh oh oh

So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away

Cuz I been standing in this line

For like five whole days

Me and security ain't getting along

And when I got to the front they told me all of the tickets we're gone

So just take me home where the mood is mellow

And the roses are thrown

M&M's are yellow

And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker

Everybody gets a nice autograph picture

One for you and one for your sister

Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener

Every songs a favorite song

And mics don't feed back

All the reviewers say you need to go and see that

And everybody claps cuz everybody is pleased

Then they all take the stage and start performing for me

Like ha ha hahaha

Ha ha hahaha ha

If you are what you say you are

A superstar

Then have no fear

The camera's here

And the microphones

And they wanna know

Oh oh oh oh

If you are what you say you are

A superstar

Then have no fear

The crowd is here

And the lights are on

And they want a show

Oh oh oh oh
