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
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
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
