In the Spotlight

After my years of struggle, playing small time gigs Right place, right time, I hit it big No longer will I face the rejections I now have an accountant doing my financial projections I make money, number one on the charts Love them, leave them, breaking the groupies hearts I have my paternity insurance through L of L It keeps me from any shotgun wedding bells Now my future looks so bright It is my destiny to be in the spotlight I am called a marketable commodity Not a one hit wonder as you will see Just got a call from my agent, now I'm back on the road Never want to lose that hunger, always go for the gold My next big hit will be better than the last Orange juice and uppers keep me moving fast In between shows, I sleep during the day and party all night There is so much pressure to remain in the spotlight There is no other career that can compare The amps booming and the smell of weed in the air To this way of life I have become a slave The doctor tells me if I don't slow down expect an early grave I am living my dream being a part of the lifestyles of the rich and shameless Gotta stay on top, who has time to take a rest If you can't be famous, be infamous, I believe that's right After a taste of it, you're addicted, you would sell your soul to stay in the spotlight I salute Mick, David and Axel and all those other die hard road performance junkies I went from a nobody to a star, but was never anyone's flunky I want to be like Hall and Oats, a non-stop hit machine I can't stop, I can't rest, there is no in between With the access to all the drugs, booze and women, it happens one night Eventually we all fall out of the spotlight
