Well you went uptown riding in your limousine With your fine Park Avenue clothes You had the Dom Perignon in your hand And the spoon up your nose And when you wake up in the morning With your head on fire And your eyes to bloody to see Go on and cry in your coffee But don′t come bitchin′ to me
Because you had to be a big shot, didn′t you You had to open up your mouth You had to be a big shot, didn′t you All your friends were so knocked out You had to have the last word, last night You had to have the white hot spotlight You had to be a big shot last night
They were all impressed with your Halston dress And the people that you knew at Elaine′s And the story of your latest sucess Kept ′em so entertained Aw but now you just don′t remember All the things you said And you′re not sure you want to know I′ll give you one hint, honey You sure did put on a show
Yes, yes you had to be a big shot, didn′t you You had to prove it to the crowd You had to be a big shot, didn′t you All your friends were so knocked out You had to have the last word, last night You′re so much fun to be around You had to have front page, bold type You had to be a big shot last night
Well, it′s no big sin to stick your two cents in If you know when to leave it alone But you went over the line You couldn′t see it was time to go home No,no,no,no,no,no, you had to be a big shot, didn′t you You had to open up your mouth You had to be a big shot, didn′t you All your friends were so knocked out You had to have the last word, last night So much fun to be around You had to have a white hot spotlight You had to be a big shot last night
LH cause 714 is the area Everybody grab a friend and jump on in Get a new view and a message to send Look for the truth and a hand you can lend But you Got something to prove A turn of your back and you?re on the move And me I get to see All of the things that you had and all you could be When the world is all about you Can′t you make your way through And all I can do is say Hey man, where ya going? Going real far and I won′t stop for nothing Hey man, what ya thinking? What I see is me, don′t you see me shining? Why do you think you can make the world yours? No way today
So your a big shot now, still don′t know who you are and Everything you want and need is at your feet, so what?
Good times Drink your red wine Try not to think of things left behind You?re a star And you′ve made it this far Strange how you really don′t know who you are Divide All your time and your pride Take all the names that you′ve learned in stride When the world is all about you Can′t you make your way through And all I can do is say Hey man, where ya going? Going real far and I won′t stop for nothing Hey man, what ya thinking? What I see is me, don′t you see me shining? Why do you think you can make the world yours? No way today
God damn! Here it comes again My friend I′ll stay to the end But I need some room so that I can get in This place It?s all a waste Your energy spent on just getting a taste And me I get to see All the things that you had and all you could be When the world is all about you Can′t you make your way through? And all I can do is say
Hey man where ya going? Going real far and I won′t stop for nothing Hey man, what ya thinking? What I see is me, don′t you see me shining? Why do you want to make the world yours? No way today
So ideal Your time is running but you don′t know why And nothing comes for free when you don′t want to try So unreal Your time is running and I see it All of your life, did you really want to be it? Your time is running out
