29 years is a long time I'd say To have to make a living to find a better way Opportunity knocks when it's the last thing you want Nobody looks for love in a Chinese restaurant
Five foot seven and a smile like a beauty queen From a movie scene Madonna 1983 if you know what I mean 55 minutes and she lit a cigarette Said a thing I'll never forget
Everybody wants to be famous Live out their lives In the heat of the sun Be someone You see a chance and you take it Everybody can dance Everybody can sing Everybody can be Famous like me
I'm done with monotony Look where it's gotten me Suit jacket and tie With a mortgage 20 feet high I coulda been a painter, a Beethoven, a Mozart Coulda been a contender instead of attending seminars 29 years and I still don't know what I want Looking for love outside the same Chinese restaurant
I can still see her climb in the cab and out the rain I can see her roll down the window and say
Everybody wants to be famous Live out their lives In the heat of the sun Be someone You see a chance and you take it Everybody can dance Everybody can sing Everybody can be Famous like me
High in the sky House in the hills Show me where to sign this time I will I'm tired of waiting in line Waiter bring me the bill
I want a piece of the action I want a slice of the pie I want a key to a city And a girl with my name on her thigh Why, why can't I have those things The things that fame brings Even if it ends in 15 minutes
Everybody wants to be famous Live out their lives In the heat of the sun Be someone You see a chance and you take it Everybody can dance Everybody can sing Everybody can be Famous like me
