Star People '97 - Radio Edit

Star people

Counting your money until it all turns green

Star people

Counting the cost of your desire to be seen

I do not count myself among you

I may have been living in a dream

It's just that there ain't so many of you

Can't help but hope there's a difference between

If I lived to be 101, I would never understand what you want

I'm looking for sympathy

Just get me on NBC

And where the hell's my dumb ass VR

Maybe your mama gave you up for

It's the same old, same old

Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough

How much is enough?

Star people

Never forget the secrets they will need you

Look at all the wonderful people

They're trying to forget just who and what they have been

Oh, it's a dream

With a nightmare stuck in the middle

Are you serious?

I'm just curious

Without all of this attention, you'd die a lot, die a lot

If I lived to be 101, wouldn't that be better?

I would never understand just why

I'm looking for sympathy

From people who watch me bleed

And they don't really seem to mind

Maybe your mama gave you up for

It's the same old, same old

Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough

How much is enough?

How much is enough?

How much is enough?

I'm just curious

Are you serious?

I'm just curious

Are you serious?

I'm just curious

Are you serious?

I'm just curious

Are you serious?

Let's go back to the day

Hey

DJ

Backwards

Is that why you're here?

Why'd you want to tell me that?

Is that what made you start?

DJ

Backwards

Is that why you're here?

Get yourself some Oprah cash

Do you ever think you've got this so hard?

Is that what made you start?

Do you think it might do you some good to look

Around you and decide how you might feel?

Maybe if that was real

Oh

Baby

Tell me

Back, backwards

Is that why you're here?

Now nothing comes from nothing, baby

That fame and fortune's heavy scent

And who gives a -- about your problems, darling?

'Cause you can pay the rent

You can pay, pay, pay, pay, pay

Baby

Pay, baby

You can pay

Is that why you're here?
