Billy Burke

Ballad Of An Overnight Success
Heard you lost your marquis And your price went down And all the girls in town Are suddenly missing Aim high you’ll end up Under the curtain strings With all the dusty things You shouldn’t be wishing for And you may not feel so wanted now But you’re missing the point somehow It’s such a fundamental thing What you get is what you bring Though you may not feel so wanted now I know I saw you on the TV last night Or was it on the red eye flight From Kennedy westbound? It’s so uncanny my cousin looks just like you Wants to be in showbiz, too Maybe you could show him around? But you may not feel so wanted now And you’re missing the point somehow Letras de cancionesIt’s such a fundamental thing What you get is what you bring Though you may not feel so wanted now A crowded mess around the pinup so folded and afraid A smile so phony like it’s molded in clay And all us poster boys are beat up, if they find out We’re holding nothing, everyone will turn us away I heard the Chateau Marmont gave you the suicide suite Isn’t that how they greet the has beens? It’s just like you to stink up the joint with your sad farewells I’ll see you in “has been hell” it certainly has been swell You may not feel so wanted now And you’re missing the point somehow It’s such a fundamental thing What you get is what you bring I know you may not feel so wanted now It’s a fundamental thing What you get is what you bring Though you may not feel so wanted now And you may just not be wanted… (Thanks to Mandy Bemelmans for these lyrics) From Letras Mania
