King of the Silver Screen Songtext

King of the Silver Screen Songtext
It′s a carnival
It's what we make of it
And I don′t know if my fragile heart can take it, because
It's not what we thought it was
It's not what we thought it was
Cue lights and roll the cameras
Strike a pose. Now isn′t this glamourous?
It was. It′s not anymore because
It's not what we thought it was
La da da da da ooh da do
La do da ooh ooh ooh
La da da da da ooh da do
La do da ooh ooh ooh
Tabloids sell if you put me on the cover
With my latest drug (cocaine)
Or my high profile lovers
You know if ever I should sell my soul
We′ll all be the first to know
Fall in love at thirty frames a second
It wasn't real, but even you believed it was
You′re lining up again because
You want to believe it was
La da da da da ooh da do
La do da ooh ooh ooh
La da da da da ooh da do
La do da ooh ooh ooh
Lose control for a piece of paper
And I'll sell my soul to the highest bidder
Felt so real, but I was only acting
Circus life is so distracting
Lights and cameras, tigers and bears
Overpriced tickets, but nobody cares
Slow down, ′cause they eat it up in slow mo (hey Dick)
Hey Dick, did you see my new promo?
You should. I did just what I said I would
Now Hollywood's making good
Cue lights, (cue lights) and roll the cameras
Strike a pose (strike a pose)
Isn't this glamourous?
It was. It′s not anymore because
It′s not what they said it was
La da da da da ooh da do
La do da ooh ooh ooh
La da da da da ooh da do
La do da ooh ooh ooh
Lose control for a piece of paper
And I'll sell my soul to the highest bidder
Felt so real, but I was only acting
Circus life is so distracting
Lights and cameras, tigers and bears
Tickets are overpriced, but you don′t care
All the planets align, and it seems
No surprise, they're all pointed at me
I′m the center of the world
Not a boy. Not a girl. I'm your king
La da ooh da da da da da da
La da da da da da da ooh ooh
La da da da la da da da da
I′m the king of the silver screen!
It's what we make of it
And I don′t know if my fragile heart can take it, because
It's not what we thought it was
It's not what we thought it was
Cue lights and roll the cameras
Strike a pose. Now isn′t this glamourous?
It was. It′s not anymore because
It's not what we thought it was
La da da da da ooh da do
La do da ooh ooh ooh
La da da da da ooh da do
La do da ooh ooh ooh
Tabloids sell if you put me on the cover
With my latest drug (cocaine)
Or my high profile lovers
You know if ever I should sell my soul
We′ll all be the first to know
Fall in love at thirty frames a second
It wasn't real, but even you believed it was
You′re lining up again because
You want to believe it was
La da da da da ooh da do
La do da ooh ooh ooh
La da da da da ooh da do
La do da ooh ooh ooh
Lose control for a piece of paper
And I'll sell my soul to the highest bidder
Felt so real, but I was only acting
Circus life is so distracting
Lights and cameras, tigers and bears

La da ooh da da da da da da
La da da da da da da ooh ooh
La da da da la da da da da
I′m the king of the silver screen!
