Lyrics

Baby all the lights are turned on you
 Now you're in the center of the stage
 Everything revolves on what you do
 Ah, you are in your prime, you've come of age
 And you can always have your way somehow
 'Cause everybody loves you now
 You can walk away from your mistakes
 Ah, you can turn your back on what you knew
 Just a little smile is all it takes
 Yeah, you can have your cake and eat it too
 Oh, and loneliness will get to you somehow
 But everybody loves you now
 Ah, they all want your white body
 And they await your reply
 Ah, but between you and me, and the Staten Island Ferry
 So do I
 All the people want to know your name
 Soon there will be lines outside your door
 Feelings do not matter in your game
 Yeah, 'cause nothing's gonna touch you anymore
 So your life is only living anyhow
 And everybody loves you now
 Close your eyes when you don't want to see
 Stay at home when you don't want to go
 Only speak to those who will agree
 Yeah, and close your mind when you don't want to know
 Ah, you have lost your innocence somehow
 But everybody loves you now
 Ah, you know that nothing lasts forever
 And it's all been done before
 Ah, but you ain't got the time to go to Cold Spring Harbor
 No more
 
 See how all the people gather 'round?
 Ah, isn't it a thrill to see them crawl?
 Keep your eyes ahead and don't look down
 Yeah, and lock yourself inside your sacred wall
 Ah, this is what you wanted, ain't you proud?
 'Cause everybody loves you now
