Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You walk in and you light up the room
[Verse 2]
You've been living in a looking glass scene
Since you were seventeen
I can't deny you've made your mark
With the handy cup, just end the occasional army cup
[Verse 3]
Brighter and brighter and brighter, you burn
When you're in this mood, there's no return
Life's a gamble, throwin' the dice
Every scandal has its price
Brighter and brighter and brighter, you burn
When you're in this mood, there's no return
[Verse 4]
Fluorescent

[Verse 5]
You walk in and you light up the room
[Verse 6]
At midnight, it's time for business
But who will bear witness
To your beauty, to your beauty and your fame
And how well you've played the game?
You've played the game, you've played the game
You've played the game, you've played the game
You've played the game, you've played the game
You've played the game, you've played the game
You've played the game
[Verse 7]
Brighter and brighter and brighter, you burn
When you're in this mood, there's no return
Life's a gamble, throwin' the dice
Every scandal has its price
Brighter and brighter and brighter, you burn
When you're in this mood, there's no return
[Verse 8]
