I'd locked myself away, a songbird in a cage Is getting out, never doubt, run a mile if you can
No more centre-stage, cannot act your age So bring it on, save us all, finally our god has come
What a joy to watch you trip into your hole Where the spirits choke and crucify your soul 'Cos I know
Time will smile on my decision Go watch yourself on the television Or dance around the streets with Elvis in a daze You're Rockefeller in a deckchair Gone nuclear with your shades to protect you Just 'Keep it real' and live the dream You're a rock star
And yet another game, in your rush for fame With Ziggy-filled DNA, spread around the world for free
What a joy to watch you trip into your hole Where the spirits choke and crucify your soul 'Cos I know
Time will smile on my decision Go watch yourself on the television Or dance around the streets with Elvis in a daze You're Rockefeller in a deckchair Gone nuclear with your shades to protect you Just 'Keep it real' and live the dream You're a rock star
