Nothing’s very certain in a certain kind of way
Oh who’s got that light
A closet albino puts dye in his hair
Oh who’s got that light
A time lapse hermaphrodite leans heavy on your ear
Oh who’s got that light
Hazy piano people soak their fingers in wine
Oh who’s got that lightNow they will tell you how to succeed
To be a famous human being
All the golden stories how to seek your fame
The smiling gigolo rides a limo in shades, but
Don’t let it happen to me
Dorothy took some pellets, Freddie got his head
They all strived to hear the applause
All the golden fables turned out to be sand
All the fallen idols buried in the land, but
Don’t let it happen to me
Many people made it by what they said
In love with fame their message is dead
Life is an illusion peeled from the screen
The lovely legends trapped in the stream, but
Don’t let it happen to me
