Rock'n'roll star So pale and haughty You didn't get far Never cracked the Top 40 You think your guitar Can win her over Stay where you are You rock'n'roll star I'm onto you I can see right through Who's got your back Now you're fifty-two? Rock'n'roll star Reckless and gleeful I think it's bizarre That you of all people Should talk to a mirror About someone's mother She knows who you are You're a rock'n'roll star I wanna hold her tight Make her feel alright Everything will look better Away from these lights Rock'n'roll star Still pale and haughty Your Italian car Won't do over 40 But you're ready to spar With someone's mother In her boudoir Like a real Rock'n'roll star Rock'n'roll star Rock'n'roll star Rock'n'roll star Rock'n'roll star We know where you are Rock'n'roll star We know where you are We know where you are It didn't go like this you know It didn't go like that you know I was only trying to be myself And get out of the habit Where I try too hard And nothing works And everyone else thinks I'm a jerk Not a rock'n'roll star I was being friendly When I asked if I could stay the night I know I stayed up far too late And standing in the bathroom light I asked myself the question That I really want to know Is it enough to be a rock'n'roll star? I seen thrilling nights and city lights And asteroids and satellites And hotel rooms and crescent moons And one-night stands and see you soons I never found the time to settle down Well do you wanna do it With a rock'n'roll star A rock'n'roll star
