Stage Name

It's a stage name

Not a real name

Could be a nickname

Or a make-it-stick name

It's a stage name

Not a real name

Could be a nickname

Have-to-make-it-stick name

Travel incognito

Move behind the scenes

Spin under the radar

If I wanna follow my dream

Leave it all behind me

Pick my getaway

Maybe the grass is greener

From far away

It's a stage name

Not a real name

Could be a nickname

Or a make-it-stick name

It's a stagе name

Not a real name

Could bе a nickname

Have-to-make-it-stick name

Must have been off the rails

To believe in a movie star name

It may have seemed like a good idea

At the time

Well, further on up the timeline

It no longer jives, but undermines

I guess I'll have to go back

To my proper real name

It's my stage name

It's not my real name

Could be a nickname

I-have-to-make-it-stick name

It's my stage name

It's not my real name

Might be my nickname

I-have-to-make-it-stick name

One of them's Ringo and Sting

Tell me, what a bad thing

If every woman and man is a star

How do you know who you are?

If Thomas Woodward is Tom Jones

Then I know I'm not alone

And if Cliff is Harry Webb

And Clive is Georgie Fame

What the hell?

Man, this is really insane

Have we gone off the rails

Or is this just a name game?

It's my stage name

Not my real name

Could be a nickname

Have-to-make-it-stick name

It's my stage name

It's not my real name

Could be my nickname

Have-to-make-it-stick, say it again

It's my stage name

It's not my real name

It used to be my nickname

I-have-to-make-it-stick name

It's my stage name

It's not my real name

It used to be my nickname

Now-I-make-it-stick name
