[Verse 1] They say you made it to the promised land Put the ink on the paper, shook the devil's hand They tell you you're the lucky one today While they slowly strip your skin away Smiling for the cameras, dressed in black Knowing you can never find your way back [Pre-Chorus] Fame is a needle, fame is a thief Selling your panic, packaging grief They build you up to watch you fall [Chorus] Yeah, you're the lucky one Dying in the spotlight, nowhere to run Fame, it hollows you out Taking your voice just to hear itself shout They love the wreckage, they love the pain Washing your face in the acid rain [Verse 2] Got the suite on the top floor, breathing the smoke Everyone’s laughing, but you are the joke They want your secrets, they want your scars Pinning you up with the dying stars You got the money, you got the name But you're just fuel for the plastic flame [Pre-Chorus] Fame is a needle, fame is a thief Selling your panic, packaging grief They build you up to watch you fall [Chorus] Yeah, you're the lucky one Dying in the spotlight, nowhere to run Fame, it hollows you out Taking your voice just to hear itself shout They love the wreckage, they love the pain Washing your face in the acid rain [Bridge] I want to disappear Take the money and run from here Fade out the lights, cut the cord I don't want to be your painted lord Let me out, just let me out Let me bleed in the underground [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Yeah, you're the lucky one Dying in the spotlight, nowhere to run Fame, it hollows you out Taking your voice just to hear itself shout [Outro] Fame... The lucky one... Just a product on the run... Fade to black...
