Nerina Pallot - Dear Frustrated Superstar lyrics

Dear Frustrated Superstar, your mother's waiting in the car To whisk you off to your new premiere And all the friends who knew your name Are waiting, wondering what became Of the girl that they once knew but never loved They never loved. So every city tells the lie Of beggars, tramps and bu*terflies Of all these things, then what am I? A princess in a threadbare gown, A gaudy, painted circus clown? A child who lost her key and can't get home? All the things I never was - A traitor in the Western Wars A girl who did it just because. Do or die, or don't at all Prepare to suffer for your call Some things have to hurt or they're not true. They can't be true When you die, you'll wonder, "was that it?" Will you think of how you'd wished you lived? Well, you're here now Yes you're here now. So I only want to be up there With a hundred others, I don't care 'Cause I'm here now Yes I'm here now. Papers, books, philosophy An envelopes eternity I count each pa**ing minute, hour, day..... Wonder how I smile so well, Wonder how they never tell There's really no one living here at all. So here a line from God's own song To comfort you when things go wrong My children never visit me. Go searching in my sky at night They must be there to set alight Their mothers aching heart is so unsure I'm so unsure.... When you die, you'll wonder, "was that it?" Will you think of how you'd wished you lived? Well, you're here now Yes you're here now. So I only want to be up there With a hundred others, I don't care 'Cause I'm here now Yes I'm here now. Dear Frustrated Superstar, I really hope you get that far If not, I hope you live I hope you live.
