Everybody Wants You

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 when everybody wants you You crave attention, you can never say "no" Throw your affections anyway 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 when everybody wants you Everybody knows you Everybody snows you Everybody needs you, leads 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
