lyrics

Please ladies and gentlemen
Give a round of applause to me
Little starstruck fellow citizen
Raise your hands and get down on your knees
I breathe only to be glorified
You seem so small from my golden eyes
So I get up on my feet
And give the rabble what they need
As long as I get paid to live above my means

I'm the King of the murders by numbers
Slaying every wannabe on his way to the charts
From the top it feels so fine to be a puppet
Chainsaw Charlie is behind the scenes pulling the strings

I live for fame and entertain
Until the blood drops on the dance floor
So glamorous and fabulous
An infamous superstar fiend

Everybody loves me until the big next thing declares war
A glittery competition to be the sluttiest number one
Because you hung posters of me on your walls
But someday I will be gone beyond recall
So I will take my clothes off and shake my skinny tush
If that is what it takes I'm ready to show off

So be warned, I will give you something to remember
I will let the world witness the vestiges of my dignity
When I ride on the devil's rollercoaster
I won't stand it if you all turn your backs on me

I live for fame and entertain
Until the blood drops on the dance floor
So glamorous and fabulous
An infamous superstar fiend

You will have enough of my dubious escapades
You will throw rocks at me and spit on my face
And when I die unexpectedly
I will sit back on my throne
While I’m turning into a bag of bones
