Cold Fame

What's the point of fame if it's been abused?
What's a kid like me even got to lose?
Here I am on your bed again
It's too big for the room it's in
Wash your face and mouth just a little bit
Everybody knows that you're good at it
But nothing hurts like an answer phone
Drinkin' some, waking up alone
Maybe if I try just a little more
I can take myself from this dirty floor
Walk through buildings of elegance
Just like you are intelligent
But still I fall from grace with this microphone
How'd you find yourself if you never roam?
Certainly I'm indebted baby, certainly, certainly, yeah

I know my place, but it don't know me
I know my place, but it don't know me

No one wants to hear that you're breaking up
It wasn't long ago we said, "start me up"
Now all your dreamin' will have to wait
What you deserve you'll anticipate
Play your forty-five records late at night
Open all the windows, turn out the light
Mysterious creatures will fill the room
A midnight show just put on for you
But still I fall from grace with this microphone
How'd you find yourself if you never roam?
Certainly I'm indebted baby, certainly, certainly, yeah

I know my place, but it don't know me
I know my place, but it don't know me

Cold fame in my brain, but it's okay 'cause I know it's the best for me
Cold fame in my brain, but it's okay 'cause I know it's the best for me
Cold fame in my brain, but it's okay 'cause I know it's the best for me
Cold fame in my brain, but it's okay 'cause I know it's the best for me
Cold fame in my brain, but it's okay 'cause I know it's the best for me
Cold fame in my brain, but it's okay 'cause I know it's the best for me
Cold fame in my brain, but it's okay 'cause I know it's the best for me
Cold fame in my brain, but it's okay 'cause I know it's the best for me
Cold fame in my brain, but it's okay 'cause I know it's the best for me
Cold fame in my brain, but it's okay 'cause I know it's the best for me
