Lyrics

Fame à la mode, flashbulbs explode
All the electronic circuits overload
When you are the show
Then you know the show must go on
Hitting the road, salaries over
I'm responsible for shouldering the load
When you are the show
Then you know the show must go on
Drag cicsel queen wearing crush velveteen
Can't someone slow down the machine?
Too much caffeine and too much nicotine
Someone slow down the machine
I'm longing for space
Longing for time
Why can't folks just say what they mean?
Why can't this ever-lovin' life
I'm leading ever feel clean?
Slow down the machine
I really need so bad to unwind
I really need to rest my mind
Velvet stockade, spiked lemonade
Fifty magazine reporters to persuade
When you are the show
Then you know the show must go on
Making the grade, not getting paid
I'm rehearsing for a ticker-tape parade
When you are the show
Then you know the show must go on
Gotta get a scene, chippy, chip, chip scene
Chippy, chip, chip, chip star-crippers's dream
Please slow down the machine, trippy
Cream limousins, black and blue scream (Please)
Longing for space
Longing for time
Why can't folks just say what they mean?
Why can't this ever-lovin' life
I'm leading ever feel clean?
Slow down the machine
I really need so bad to unwind
I really need to rest my mind
