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, everybody wants you      You crave attention, you can never say "no"   Throw your affections any way 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, 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
