You see 'em comin' at you every night

Strung on pretension, they

fall for you at first sight

You know their business,

you think it's a bore

They make you restless, it's

nothin' you ain't seen before

Get around town, spend

your time on the run

You never let down,

say you do it for fun

Never miss a play, though

you make quite a few

You give it all away

everybody wants you

You crave attention,

you can never say "no"

Throw your affections

any way the wind blows

You always make it, you're

on top of the scene

You sell the copy like

the cover of a magazine

Puttin' on the eyes 'til

there's nobody else

You never realize what

you do to yourself

The things that they see

make the daily reviews

You never get free

everybody wants you

Everybody knows you

Everybody snows you

Everybody leads you,

needs you, bleeds you

Nights of confusion

and impossible dreams

Days at the mirror, patchin'

up around the seams

You got your glory, you paid for it all

You take your pension in

loneliness and alcohol

Say goodbye to conventional ways

You can't escape the hours,

you lose track of the days

The more you understand,

seems the more like you do

You never get away

everybody wants you
