Lucinda Williams Lyrics for Song: Little Rock Star
 Lyrics for Album: Little Honey [2008]
 
 
 
 38379>It's clear you have a death wish
 
 
 
 And from what I hear, your latest dish
 
 
 
 Lives for you and scares you half to death
 
 
 
 You bend over backwards to make a statement
 
 
 
 Hang from the rafters and lick the pavement
 
 
 
 Split your lip and barely catch a breath
 
 
 
 Your lovely eyes they close like petals
 
 
 
 Your sweet surprise could win you medals
 
 
 
 You strut your stuff and fan your peacock feathers
 
 
 
 Even if you fake it to get attention
 
 
 
 Whatever it'll take to get them to listen
 
 
 
 Piss on your designer boots and designer leathers
 
 
 
 Hey little rock star what don't you see
 
 
 
 This is not all that it's cracked up to be
 
 
 
 And I can't say I blame you for throwing the towel in
 
 
 
 Or buying more fame by cashing your chips in
 
 
 
 With all of your talent and so much to gain
 
 
 
 To toss it away like that would be such a shame
 
 
 
 Juvenile delinquent, misunderstood
 
 
 
 Peter Pan and Robin Hood
 
 
 
 Will you ever do the things you're afraid to do?
 
 
 
 Will you ever know happiness little rock star
 
 
 
 Or is your death wish stronger than you are?
 
 
 
 Will you go up in flames like the torches that are carried for you?
 
 
 
 Hey little rock star what don't you see?
 
 
 
 This is not all that it's cracked up to be
 
 
 
 I can't say I blame you for throwing the towel in
 
 
 
 Or buying more fame by cashing your chips in
 
 
 
 But with all of your talent and so much to gain
 
 
 
 To toss it away like that would be such a shame
 
 
 
 To toss it away like that would be such a shame
