Big Night In The Limelight
Moments in the limelight can be few and far between
Most folks live their whole life in the shadows never seen
But that moment
Can make you feel whole but can also destroy your soul
It’s your big night in the limelight
We hoped you’d have a fine night
But the pressure had you wound tight
You spun out from all the spin
Well your axel wouldn’t spin tight
On your big night in the limelight
Was it laces or the faces?
Did the world begin to spin?
Don't waste your pity on me for sorry's what I never was
And now that they finally let me free I will try to forget the man I was
Remember me in reveries of comedy, Gillooly be a friend of yours!
Rake me through the red hot coals of history, I'll show you how a man ignores
It’s a lifetime in the limelight
Where a shocking lack of foresight
Led to misery in hindsight
Stood you up and did you in
When you’re living as a scandal
And your world becomes dismantled
Grab whatever has a handle
The world will always spin
Trailer park, they really hit the mark
I can’t escape the pull of the call
Up in flames, got so many to blame
I gottaseek revenge on them all
But sitting here everything in the rear
I dream about a way to let go
Away from you and what you dragged me through
At least you got a hell of a show
All my inner lies
Never could disguise
Magnified in the limelight
Banished to the woods
Dreams destroyed for good
Never could stand the limelight
