Media-addicted
Centre of attention.
"Universe's sweetheart someday" —
At least that's what she likes to tell herself
When life falls into disarray.

And everybody is concerned 'cause she
Never has her fill.
If she can't hold the world as her pearl,
Then nobody ever will.

Audience, applause and encores —
It's a lifestyle to die for.
Fame is what we unloved fighters strive for.

Well...

* If you are what you say you are, a superstar,
Then have no fear —
The camera's here
And the microphones,
And they wanna know.

And if you are what you say you are, a superstar,
Then have no fear —
The crowd is here
And the lights are on
And they want a show.
