Golden Boy

Top of the fold
Toast of the town
Everyone stops when you come around
They hold their breath for you
Heroes are born
Idols are made
We're all fools for this factory fame
And you've got the brand new face
And you've got the brand new face
Golden boy
Beauty untamed
Stupid and wild poster boy you're society's child
Cut your teeth, cut your mouth, cut it out
Meteor rise from obscurity
All it took was a killing spree
And the whole world was lying at your feet
Golden boy, golden boy
I know my place, stick to my lines
Stay in your shadow, don't block your light
So you can shine divine
So you can shine divine
Golden boy, golden boy, golden boy
