If I were to ever be a famous singer, all my songs would be more on the acoustic, indie, not mainstream side.
So this song is for when i (don't) become famous and have a career of not being like Lady Gaga. This is my "You gotta change your ways if you wanna make it in this world" song.
========
Never been big on the American dream
Living it up on the New York scene
Checkered cabs and sky scrapers
More than one way
A breath taker
Some may say I’ve gotta get myself in the game
Brand their eyes with lights, so they remember my name
Meaningless words fall from the sky
I’ll catch ‘em in my hand
Give it a try
So tonight I’ll let the taxi take me where I wanna go
What can make it rhyme, let’s see, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tonight
You’re gonna see my name in lights
You’re gonna see my name in lights
You’re gonna see, see, see, see, see my name in lights
Tonight
You’re gonna see my name in lights
You’re gonna see my name in lights
You’re gonna see, see, see, see, see my name in lights, lights, lights, lights, lights
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go from here
Paris, Rome
Barcelona
Somewhere far from here
Stop me, stop me
Stop me, stop me
Stop me from taking this flight
Paris, Rome
Barcelona
They don’t speak how I like
But tonight, I’ll let the jet take me out to L.A.
What can make it rhyme, let’s see, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Tonight
You’re gonna see my name in lights
You’re gonna see my name in lights
You’re gonna see, see, see, see, see my name in lights
Tonight
You’re gonna see my name in lights
You’re gonna see my name in lights
You’re gonna see, see, see, see, see my name in lights, lights, lights, lights, lights
What’s that they’re calling me, do I really care
As long as everyone can smell my fame in the air
Mindless drones and low respect
But loaded up
On drugs and sex
Some may say I’ve gotta get myself in the game
Brand their eyes with lights, so they remember my name
Meaningless words fall from the sky
I’ll catch ‘em in my hand
Give it a try
So tonight I’ll let the taxi take me where I wanna be
Anywhere is good, ‘s’long as their looking at me
Tonight
You’re gonna see my name in lights
You’re gonna see my name in lights
You’re gonna see, see, see, see, see my name in lights
Tonight
You’re gonna see my name in lights
You’re gonna see my name in lights
You’re gonna see, see, see, see, see my name in lights, lights, lights, lights, lights
You’re gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna
See my name in lights, ights, ights, ights, i-i-i-ights
(You're Gonna See My Name In) Lights
