Lyrics for The Idol
Oh, baby, this stuff is great It's better than great You do enough of this stuff and you can be able to fuck the universe Jonathan, I'd like you to meet a friend of mine, Tanya Jonathan! What the bloody hell's going on here? Well, if it isn't the world-renowned Alex Rodney The best manager money can buy You've got all the friends money can buy! You know damn well you're supposed to be in the studio tomorrow And here you sit with these fucking leeches all around ya? And if you don't stop this fuckin' debauchery, I'm leavin' ya, you got it? This little party is officially over, get out! Everybody get out! Hello? Will I be alone this morning, will I need my friends? Something just to ease away my pain No one ever sees the loneliness behind my face I am just a prisoner to my fame If I could only stand and stare in the mirror, could I see One fallen hero with a face like me? And if I scream, could anybody hear me? If I smash the silence, you'll see what fame has done to me Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely I'll never know if love's a lie (ooh) Bein' crazy in paradise is easy Do you see the prisoners in my eyes? Where is the love to shelter me? Give me love, love, love, come set me free Where is the love to shelter me? Only love, love, love โ love, set me free Set me free Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely I'll never know if love's a lie, ooh Bein' crazy in paradise is easy Do you see the prisoners in my eyes? Where is the love to shelter me? Give me love, love, love come set me free Where is the love to shelter me? Only love, love, love โ love set me free Set me free Jonathan Yeah? It's showtime
