Celebrity Status

I look around, round, look around and look it over

I take it up, up take it out and take you nowhere

Trading in who I've been for shiny celebrity skin

I like to push it and push it until my luck is over

It never stop stops, never stops, well you better

Think it over prima donna you don't want to sever

All the work to impress, charming girls out of their dresses

Smiling pretty, well, pretty will swallow you forever



Step one, step two, step three repeat

I pray at the church of ass's in the seats

And I disappear behind the beat

When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear

I'd never guess how we ever could have got here

You can say what you say when the lights go down

So shake shake shake and shut your mouth



I wonder why, why, I wonder why, why I outta

Let you wreck, resurrect whatever you want to

I can't depend in the end you know I thought you were my friend

Just stop, just stop, just stop I think I got it

Sorry you, sorry me, sorry every in between

Sorry everybody here will never be somebody clean

There's a piece of me they're throwing back at us

And they will buy you and sell you for celebrity status



Step one, step two, step three repeat

I pray at the church of asses in the seats

And I disappear behind the beat

When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear

I'd never guess how we ever could have got here

You can say what you say when the lights go down

So shake shake shake and shut your mouth



When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear

I'd never guess how we ever could have got here

You can say what you say when the lights go down

So shake shake shake and shut your mouth



I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying (x4)



When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear

I'd never guess how we ever could have got here

You can say what you say when the lights go down

So shake shake shake and shut your mouth



When the mirrors and the lights and the smoke clear

I'd never guess how we ever could have got here

You can say what you say when the lights go down

So shake shake shake and shut your mouth



I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
