[Verse 1]
Half an hour to the subway station
I have a revelation
My feet are stuck in my shoes
And someone glued my shoes to the sidewalk
I have no enemies
Don't know who would do this to me
I’m like an angel in plaster
Come on, let me fly up close to the sun
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the fireman
Doesn't wanna help me
It's not his job
It's his day off
Hey, everyone
Won't you crowd around me?
I'll put on a show
It'll pay off
[Chorus]
Mmm-mmm-mmm
I'm an echo of a teenage look at me
Desperate entеrtainer
I’m still grabbing at the same big kеy
Still locked in a nobody container
[Verse 2]
I’m a useless city scarecrow
I’m full of hay and have no brain
So I can keep up this charade
I'm happy stayin' in the same place
Satchie moved to Switzerland
And I still don't know how to drive
I say I try but it's all talk
My shoes are glued to the sidewalk
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the fireman
Doesn't wanna help me
It's not his job
It's his day off
Hey, everyone
Won't you crowd around me?
I'll put on a show it'll pay off
[Chorus]
Mmm-mmm-mmm
I'm an echo of a teenage look at me
Desperate entertainer
I’m still grabbing at the same big key
Still locked in a nobody container
[Chorus]
I'm an echo of a teenage look at me
(I'm an echo of a teenage look at me)
Desperate entertainer
(Desperate entertainer)
I’m still grabbing at the same big key
(I’m still grabbing at the same big key)
Still locked in a nobody container
(Still locked in a nobody container)
[Chorus]
I'm an echo of a teenage look at me
(I'm an echo of a teenage look-at-me
Desperate entertainer
(Desperate entertainer)
I’m still grabbing at the same big key
(I’m still grabbing at the same big key)
Still locked in a nobody container
(Still locked in a nobody container)
