Lyrics
Play The Star
Well you can live your life even if you fake it
And you can go a long way on a phony smile
But you can?t get love til you learn how to take it
Or find the backdoor to heaven by running wild
You can have your precious cake and you can eat it all
But if you burn your magic candle at both ends
You?ll find yourself in the middle of a freefall
And you might never find your way back home again
And you?ll never find Aladdin?s lantern
But running away from who you really are
You?ve gotta let yourself learn to feel everything
It?s like a movie and you?ve gotta play the star
Just like a movie and you?ve gotta play the star
And you can say one thing and mean another
And you can bend the rules right up until your dying day
But you can?t keep telling lies to your lover
And expect she?s gonna love you oneday
You can hide from the judgment of your conscience
And pretend you?ll never have to face yourself
But if you don?t ever stop to find the Present
You?re just running down that big main street in hell
