To be a star

To have your name up in lights

To be a star

Ziggy Stardust is all but a faint memory

Your life played on a guitar

Spilling your heart and dreams all out

To a glazed eyed audience

fifteen minutes till oblivion,

fifteen minues to make your peace.

fifteen minutes to shine the brightest,

fifteen minues to put on a show.

Fifteen minutes till oblivion

Lie to me and tell me I'm great

Tell me what I only want to hear

Life has become a commodity

I feel as if I'm losing grip on it

Oblivion seems like a memory

A distant dream lost in waking

Caught between lies and fake

Hold me close and make me understand
