lyrics

VS1
I have so much fun
I’m never ever sad
I got it all together
Nobody cares

Look at me so happy
Everybody’s perfect
I never ever cry, and
Nobody cares

PRE1
Look at my new face
I got it at a thrift store
Took the elevator
Got off on the 5th floor
Smiled at a baby
I think it was my landlord
I don’t have the rent
But it doesn’t matter anymore, cause

CH
I’m gonna be a star
I’m an astronaut that’s blasting off
Alone inside a bar
I’m gonna be a god
I’m a statue staring at you
But this room is really dark

VS2
Everybody’s watchin’
Everybody’s talkin’
Everybody’s likin’
But nobody cares

I got brand new moves
And I think they’re really sexy
Everybody wants me
But nobody cares

PRE2
Look at my new body
I got it in a dumpster
Brand new blow up doll
And I think I really love her
Talks a bit too much
So I went to see a doctor
Red pill in the morning
Get Illuminati dollars

CH2
I’m gonna be a star
I’m an astronaut that’s blasting off
Alone inside a bar

I’m gonna be a god
I’m a statue staring at you
But this room is really dark

BR
It’s so quiet out here
It’s so quiet out here
In the dark
It’s so lonely out here
It’s so lonely out here
Cause I’m a

CH BRKDWN
Star
I’m an astronaut that’s blasting off
Alone inside my head
I’m gonna be a god
I’m an idle sitting idle
In the comfort of my bed

CH3
I’m gonna be a star
I’m an astronaut that’s blasting off
Alone inside a bar
I’m gonna be a god
I’m a statue staring at you
But this room is really dark
