Superstar Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here we are in the land of the superstar
Big dreams and a job in a stripper's bar
Come along don't worry who you really are
'Cuz nobody cares what you left behind

[Verse 2]
Start a band and get a house in the hills
Find a singer who looks like Kitty Wells
Make a record high on prescription pills
Maybe make a movie just to kill some time

[Chorus]
Take it out and show it round
'Cuz you can do things here you never have to live down
I'm never going back to my one-horse town

[Verse 3]
Start a business organics door to door
'Cuz nobody buys records here anymore
Fall in love with the singer but what for
These things always end badly, don't they

[Chorus]
Take it out and show it round
'Cuz you can do things here you never have to live down
I'm never going back to my one-horse town
[Bridge]
Hey all hail the superstar
Hey all hail the superstar
Hey all hail the superstar

[Verse 4]
Sleep out in the desert
Where they keep all the bodies hid
Take peyote just like Jimmy did
Make a funeral pyre gasoline will get it lit
Say a little prayer for the souls departed

[Chorus]
Take it out and show it round
'Cuz you can do things here you never have to live down
I'm never going back to my one-horse town

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
