Everyone's Famous

(album: Bridge Over Troubled Dreams - 2021)

Superstars in the sky
Passing by
Stumbling in the dark, I wonder why
And I've tried, I'm not high
Everyone's famous

You want to be famous
And fly for your life to the stars
Not think twice who you are
Just use what your mama gave
Do you think you can take it?
Love it or hate it
Is this worth the world to you right now?
Give up your family, your blood to the crowd

Oh, you think this is easy
That dreaming comes cheaply
Are you ready to dance with the devil and sell
Your soul and you think, well I might as well

Superstars in the sky
Passing by
Stumbling in the dark, I wonder why
And I've tried, I'm not high
Everyone's famous tonight

I thought it had meaning
When I grew up dreaming
Watching Mariah and Whitney and Cher
Kill it on stage was an art that we praised

Oh, forget about greatness
'Cause everyone's famous
If that's what you want
Then I wish that I'd known
Just sung my songs here on my own

Superstars in the sky
Passing by
Stumbling in the dark, I wonder why
And I've tried, I'm not high
Everyone's famous

I'll let you in on a secret
But it comes and it goes
But if you really are a star
You'll always be

A superstar in the sky
Passing by
Stumbling in the dark, I wonder why
And I've I tried
Is everyone famous tonight?

Superstars in the sky
Passing by
Stumbling in the dark
I wonder why
And I've tried, I'm not high
Everyone's famous tonight
