Baby all the lights are turned on you

Now you're in the center of the stage

Everything revolves on what you do

Ah, you are in your prime; you've come of age



And you can always have your way somehow

But everybody loves you now



You can walk away from your mistakes

You can turn your back on what you do

Just a little smile is all it takes

Yeah, you can have your cake and eat it too



Loneliness will get to you somehow

But everybody loves you now



Ah, they all want your white body

And they await your reply

Ah, but between you and me and the Staten Island ferry

So do I



All the people want to know your name

Soon there will be lines outside your door

Feelings do not matter in your game

Yeah, 'cause nothing's gonna touch you anymore



So your life is only living anyhow

And everybody loves you now



Close your eyes when you don't want to see

Stay at home when you don't want to go

Only speak to those who will agree

Yeah, and close your mind when you don't want to know



You have lost you innocence somehow

But everybody loves you now



Ah, you know that nothing lasts forever

And it's all been done before

Ah, but you ain't got the time to go to Cold Spring Harbor

No more



See how all the people gather 'round

Hey, isn't it a thrill to see them crawl?

Keep your eyes ahead and don't look down

Yeah, and lock yourself inside your sacred wall



This is what you wanted; ain't you proud?

'Cause everybody loves you now
