When you see the whole world in your eyes

You know somewhere there's a surprise

The cityscape's bright light gives you the view

The joke's that no one's looking at you

 

You thought that New York was where it was at

You know that LA is worse than that

She paid top dollar to get you seen

He took you money, it's all a big scheme

 

You're the bait, you can't wait

Stand up tall, stand up straight

You're in the spotlight, you got it all right

You know you were his just last night

 

Turning tricks, getting your licks

Too bad for you, you're not their pick

Waitin' tables, you're not able

to see your world's just not stable
