29 years is a long time I'd say |
|
To have to make a living to find a better way |
|
Opportunity knocks when it's the last thing you want |
|
Nobody looks for love in a Chinese restaurant |
|
Five foot seven and a smile like a beauty queen |
|
From a movie scene |
|
Madonna 1983 if you know what I mean |
|
55 minutes and she lit a cigarette |
|
Said a thing I'll never forget |
|
Everybody wants to be famous |
|
Live out their lives |
|
In the heat of the sun |
|
Be someone |
|
You see a chance and you take it |
|
Everybody can dance |
|
Everybody can sing |
|
Everybody can be |
|
Famous like me |
|
I'm done with monotony |
|
Look where it's gotten me |
|
Suit jacket and tie |
|
With a mortgage 20 feet high |
|
I coulda been a painter, a Beethoven, a Mozart |
|
Coulda been a contender instead of attending seminars |
|
29 years and I still don't know what I want |
|
Looking for love outside the same Chinese restaurant |
|
I can still see her climb in the cab and out the rain |
|
I can see her roll down the window and say |
|
Everybody wants to be famous |
|
Live out their lives |
|
In the heat of the sun |
|
Be someone |
|
You see a chance and you take it |
|
Everybody can dance |
|
Everybody can sing |
|
Everybody can be |
|
Famous like me |
|
High in the sky |
|
House in the hills |
|
Show me where to sign this time |
|
I will |
|
I'm tired of waiting in line |
|
Waiter bring me the bill |
|
I want a piece of the action |
|
I want a slice of the pie |
|
I want a key to a city |
|
And a girl with my name on her thigh |
|
Why, why can't I have those things |
|
The things that fame brings |
|
Even if it ends in 15 minutes |
|
Everybody wants to be famous |
|
Live out their lives |
|
In the heat of the sun |
|
Be someone |
|
You see a chance and you take it |
|
Everybody can dance |
|
Everybody can sing |
|
Everybody can be |
|
Famous like me |
