Lucinda Williams - Little Rock Star Lyrics
It's clear you have a deathwishFrom what I hearYour latest dish, lives for youIt scares you half to deathYou bend over backwards to make a statementHang from the rafters and lick the pavementSplit your lip and barely cathc a breathYour lovely eyes that close like petalsYour sweet surprise can win you medalsYou strut your stuff and fan your pea***** feathersEven if you fake it to get attentionWhatever it'll take to get them to listenPiss on your designer boots and designer leathers[Chorus]Hey little rock star (hey little rock star)Why don't you seeThis is not all that, its cracked up to beAnd I can't say I blame youFor throwin' the towel inFor buying more fame Cashing your chips inWith all your talentSo much to gainTo toss it away like thisIt'd be such a shameJuvenile delinquent, misunderstoodPeter Pan and Robin HoodWill you ever do what your afraid to do?Will you ever know happiness of a rock star?Was your deathwish stronger than you are?Will you go up in flames like the torches that are carried for you?[Chorus]To toss it away like thisWould be such a shameTo toss it away like thisWould be such a shame
