I used to play the clown Making headlines in this town I was living – the pop life
Everybody stared At the make up that I weared I was living – the pop life
Everything I did was new And I didn't really have a clue I made some people rich Got treated like a bitch – pop life
It was 1981 When I finally had some fun Really livin' – the pop life
Travelling round the world With a dozen crazy girls We were living – the pop life
They taught me a trick or two Like how to never never get the blues It's easy when you know How to let your spirit go – pop life It's alright – all night – pop life You get it right – it's outta site – pop life
Now I'm getting old I'm just doing what I'm told I 'ain't livin' – the pop life
I made a little bread Got a forty acre spread Thanks to living the pop life
It's alright – my life – the pop life It's outta site -all night – the pop life Yeah the high light – of my life – was the pop life
