Celebrity Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus 2]
All the clocks will stop
And all the jeans will cream
It has always been my one and only dream


[Chorus 2]
All that's left of me is my celebrity
All that's left of me is my celebrity

[Bridge]
Leave your heart
Lay down your art
You're here for the party
Smile and wave
Try to behave
Be happy that they've made you a celebrity


[Pre-Chorus 3]
I could disappear
Into the great unknown
And it would wear my face as if it were its own


[Outro-Chorus]
And all that you will see is a celebrity
All that's left of me is my celebrity
I will get in first and I will get in free
All that's left of me is my celebrity

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
