Tekst piosenki
Watch children cry
The pageant sells the lie
Third place isn’t winning you know
And neither is first
The pressure and the thirst
For the skeletons show
I am so thin skinned
Don’t scratch the surface
Please let me live within
Within this circus
Little dreams come crashing
Let them wave in passing
Cos fame won’t love you like a mother, like a father should
And you may wish for Oscars, Grammys and blockbusters
Fame won’t love you like a brother, like a lover should
Fame won’t love you like a mother, like a father should
Fame won’t love you like a mother, like a father should
I searched in your eyes for some glimmer of light
Tap dancing for one million miles
I looked for the smiles
Hoping in them I’d find validation for my futile existence
I am so thin skinned
Don’t scratch the surface
Please let me live within
Within this circus
Little dreams come crashing
Let them wave in passing
Cos fame won’t love you like a mother, like a father should
And you may wish for Oscars, Grammys and blockbusters
Fame won’t love you like a brother, like a lover should
Fame won’t love you like a mother, like a father should
Fame won’t love you like a mother, like a father should
Fame won’t love you like a mother, like a father should
Fame won’t love you like a mother, like a father should
