King Of The Silver Screen Lyrics - Lace And Whiskey - Alice Cooper

By day I'm a workin' man, 

Layin' bricks or layin' pipe. 

I don't stand out in a crowd; 

Just look like one of the guys. 

Little do they know, 

When I'm alone in bed at night, 

I become the King of the Silver Screen. 

I stare at the ceiling there; 

I know where I belong. 

I two step with Fred Astaire or 

Fighting old King Kong. 

I can be any hero at all; 

Zorro or Don Juan. 

I know I'm the King of the Silver Screen.

Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind. 

I could've been Valentino if I was born in another time. 

I might be solving a case or swinging from a tree. 

Share a joke with Crosby and Hope; 

We're such good friends, you see. 

Even dazzle the Academy with my versatility. 

'Cause I'm the King of the Silver Screen. 

Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind. 

I could've been Errol Flynn 

If I was born in another time. 

I could've been a star. 

I could've been a star. 

I could've played that part. 

But Hollywood movies keep flashin' before my eyes. 

I could've been Greta Garbo 

If I was born in another time.

I wake the very next day 

Go on back to work. 

I'm just a face in a crowd; 

Another average jerk. 

And all the guys on the building site look at me flirt. 

Because I'm the Queen of the Silver. 

Yes, I'm the Queen of the Silver Screen. 

I admit it to all my fellow workers. 

I don't care any more. I'm tired of closets. 

I'm gonna eat my makeup for lunch today. 

Just stop hittin' me again. All right guys? 

I'm going to Hollywood to be a starlet. 

I know I'm 240 pounds and play center 

For the Detroit Lions. 

I don't care any more. 

I like makeup and dresses and Hollywood. 

I'll make somebody a great little wife. 

"Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a damn."
