Fame à la mode lyrics

Fame a la mode

Flashbulbs explode

All the electronic circuits overload

When you are the show,

Then you know the show,

Must go on.

Hitting the road

Salaries over

I'm responsible for shouldering the load

When you are the show,

Then you know the show,

Must go on.

Drag cicsel queen

Wearing crush velveteen

Can't someone slow down the machine ?

Too much caffeine

And too much nicotine

Someone slow down the machine

I'm longing for space

Longing for time

Why can't folks just say what they mean ?

Why can't this ever-lovin' life I'm leading

Ever feel clean ?

Slow down the machine

I really need so bad to unwind

I really need to rest my mind

Velvet stocade

Spiked lemonade

Fifty magazine reporters to persuade

When you are the show,

Then you know the show,

Must go on.

Making the grade

Not getting paid

I'm rehearsing for a ticker-tape parade

When you are the show,

Then you know the show,

Must go on.

Gotta get a scene, chippy, chip, chip scene

Chippy, chip, chip, chip star-crippers's dream

Please slow down the machine, trippy !

Cream limousins,

Black and blue scream

Please

Longing for space

Longing for time

Why can't folks just say what they mean ?

Why can't this ever-lovin' life I'm leading ever feel clean ?

Slow down the machine

I really need so bad to unwind

I really need to rest my mind
