Celebrity Lyrics & Video

Don't call me a zero

I'm gonna be a hero

Like Phil Esposito or the Kennedys

I'll be incorporated

And I'll be imitated

And overrated, but that doesn't bother me

All the jaws will drop

And all the girls will scream

And there will be commotion when I show up on the scene

All that you will see is a celebrity [x2]

When I'm riding in my limo

I won't look out the window

Might make me homesick for humanity

There's nowhere that I can't go

And there's nobody I don't know

And there's an emptiness that's eating me

All the clocks will stop

And all the jeans will cream

It has always been my one and only dream

All that's left of me is my celebrity [x2]

Leave your heart

Lay down your art

You're here for the party

Smile and wave

Try to behave

Be happy that they've made you a celebrity

I could disappear into the great unknown

And it would wear my face as if it were its own

And all that you will see is a celebrity

All that's left of me is my celebrity

I will get in first and I will get in free

All that's left of me is my celebrity
