Lemon Drop

Soon I'll be at the top

And probably choke on a lemon drop

It’s really embarrassing

But this look is everything

I'm willing to brave disgrace

And leave just a pretty blue face

Well, maybe it seems insane

But at least you're entertained

They fall for you when they see that you’ve got away

It’s all for you, but they beg for it anyway

They love the lines that you hardly remember at all

It's better if you live fast

And leave too soon

I'm telling 'em that I won't stop

Until it gets even sweeter

Suckin' on a lemon drop

I'll taste the shock till it melts away

How long before I finally forget the place

That left such a sour taste?

But the sugar rush is alright

So is it overkill

If I move to Beverly Hills

And savor the kinds of thrills

That fit through a twenty-dollar bill?

I’ll probably lose control

And tie a ticket to my tumble-down soul

Or maybe I’ll make the trade

To be the prince of another parade

They dress me up and I throw them another smile

Impress the party, but I'm still my mother's child

All fragile bones, I should never be left alone

If I'm lucky, I can live fast

And leave too soon

I'm telling 'em that I won't stop

Until it gets even sweeter

Suckin' on a lemon drop

I'll taste the shock till it melts away

How long before I finally forget the place

That left such a sour taste?

But the sugar rush is alright
