Lyrics

by Alice Donut

Spotlights gleam across a Star Search nation
A million cries of "me" drown out the cruel frustrations of a normal life
It's a different kind of thinking
A whole new way of telling lies 'til they're true
When you're waiting for the light

And we're all waiting for the same light these days
A job well done is not enough without a front page photograph
Death comes quickly to the poor and obscure
Booby prizes for the kind and unsure
When they're standing in the light

40 channels of a daydream stimulation
Help me to forget myself and raise my expectations of a better life
I'm ready to be special now
Get what I deserve and shine for an hour
Standing in the light

[Chorus]
And it would help if you could die
(It's a tiny little world)
Something fast and tragic at an early age
Guilty soon as you try
(Teeny tiny little heroes)
Get a sense of history put yourself on the page
It's an ugly sight
(In a tiny ugly world)
When everybody's on the stage

She's got a face to launch a thousand supersonic jets
A waitress in another life, how easily she forgets
Looks back with a sigh to simpler days
She's not ungrateful, just caught up in the chase
Still waiting for the light

[Chorus]
And it would help if you could die
(It's a tiny little world)
Something fast and tragic at an early age
Guilty soon as you try
(Teeny tiny little heroes)
Get a sense of history put yourself on the page
It's an ugly sight
(In a tiny ugly world)
When everybody's on the stage

Think of me
(It's a tiny little world)
Watch what you do. Watch what you say
Drink with me
(Teeny tiny little heroes)
I'd be so grateful, if you could think of a way to pay
Don't dream of me
(In a tiny ugly world)
Have it any other way
