KELLY
IT WASN’T GOOD RATINGS AT ELEVEN AND FIVE
YOUR SALARY PACKAGE THAT’S GROWING IN SIZE
A PARKING SPACE THAT’S JUST OUTSIDE
BUT WHEN DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU’D ARRIVED?
WHEN YOUR FACE WENT ON A BUS
KELLY/CHORUS
FOLKS TRUST THE ONE UPON THE BUS
KELLY
SO I WILL BE UP THERE ONE DAY
IN FOUR COLOR BANNER DISPLAY
THEN PEOPLE WILL LISTEN TO EVERYTHING I SAY
WITH MY FACE UPON THE SIDE
OF A BUS PASSING BY
UP EVERY STREET, DOWN EVERY LANE
GOES MY MOTORIZED HERALD OF FAME
THE YOUNG AND OLD WILL SEE AND THEN THEY’LL KNOW
THAT ON ME THEY CAN RELY
IT LETTERS THREE FEET HIGH
I’LL BE THE TALK OF THE TOWN
PAPARAZZI WILL FOLLOW ME AROUND
THE FASHION POLICE WILL TALK OF MY GOWN
THE ONE THAT I WEAR TO RECEIVE MY AWARD
I’LL BE ADORED
I WANT IT SO BAD I CAN’T STAND IT
IN FACE TO BE TOTALLY CANDID
THERE’S JUST ONE THING TO MAKE LIFE COMPLETE
VALIDATION BY PUBLIC TRANSIT
FOR NOW, I MUST WORK TOWARD THE DAY
WITH LONG HOURS, LATE NIGHTS AND LOW PAY
I SHALL TOW THE CORPORATE LINE
PAY MY DUES, ABIDE BY TIME
NOTHING’S GONNA BLOCK THE WAY
TO KELLY WARNER ON DISPLAY
I KNOW IT SOUNDS STRANGE
BUT IT’S WHAT I MUST ARRANGE
I NEED MY FACE ON A BUS
I DON’T CARE IF ITS COVERED IN RUST
I’VE GOT TO BE THERE WITH THAT ALL KNOWING STARE
SEE MY FACE LOOKING DOWN FROM A BUS
CHORUS
PEOPLE ALWAYS LOOK UP TO YOU
AND THEY ARE FULL OF ENVY TOO
WITH YOUR FACE IN THE SKY
FLOATING BY TEN FEET HIGH
ON A BUS
