a starburst’s the view
from a black hole
as Mama gives birth to
another little planet
(give her a mic)
I’m in a rocket to my star
(dumb)
I need this!
this is my last chance!
I have to make it—
(she’s eighteen)
they all want to be on stage
they want to be on TV
they all want to feel
the heat of the spotlight
and their star
(dumb)
sign up the next idol
sign up this seasons voice
sign up the next Erica
doesn’t have talent
Warhol rolls over
in his grave
’cause they’re all on the stage
and, you know what?
there’s no audience left
no one’s clapping in the dark
the audience went down
that black hole
as Mama gives birth to
another little planet
