Dear Frustrated Superstar Lyrics - Singles - Nerina Pallot

Dear Frustrated Superstar 

Your mother's waiting in the car 

To whisk you off to your new premiere 

And all the friends who knew your name 

Are waiting, wondering what became 

Of the girl that they once knew 

But never loved 

They never loved 

So every city tells the lie 

Of beggars, tramps and butterflies 

Of all these things, then what am I? 

A princess in a threadbare gown 

A gaudy, painted circus clown? 

A child who lost her key 

And can't get home? 

All the things I never was 

A traitor of the Western Wars 

A girl who did it just because 

Do or die or don't at all 

Prepare to suffer for your call 

Some things have to hurt 

Or they're not true 

They can't be true 

When you die, you'll wonder, was that it? 

Will you think of how you'd wished you lived? 

Well, you're here now 

Yeah, you're here now 

So I only want to be up there 

With a hundred others, I don't care 

'Cause I'm here now 

Yeah, I'm here now 

Papers, books, philosophy 

An envelopes eternity 

I count each passing minute 

Hour, day 

Wonder how I smile so well 

I wonder how they never tell 

There's really no one living here at all 

So here a line from God's own song 

To comfort you when things go wrong 

My children never visit me 

Go searching in my sky at night 

They must be there to set alight 

Their mothers aching heart is so unsure 

I'm so unsure 

When you die, you'll wonder, was that it? 

Will you think of how you'd wished you lived? 

Well, you're here now 

Yeah, you're here now 

So I only want to be up there 

With a hundred others, I don't care 

'Cause I'm here now 

Yeah, I'm here now 

Again 

Again 

Again 

Dear Frustrated Superstar 

I really hope you get that far 

If not, I hope you live 

I hope you live
