Lyrics
won the prize tomato, now all eyes are on you
now you're in the spotlight, so what are you gonna do
and it's all you thought you wanted, your fantasy come true
so you wanted to be honest - how could you be so lame?
thought that they would notice, but they ignored you just the same
when you tried to talk about it all you felt was shame
i saw you on tv - oh you had it
and all the ways they made you seem - like magic
and now all you'll ever be is tragic
so all the world was ready to let you touch the sky
like flannel feet pajamas; to keep you warm and keep you dry
till the day that you regretted you ever learned to fly
well i saw you on tv - oh you had it
and all the ways they made you seem - like plastic
and now all you'll ever be is tragic
well they said they made you famous so all you had to do
is win the prize tomato, now all eyes are on you
yeah now you're in the spotlight so what the hell are you gonna do
and it's all you thought you wanted, your fantasy come true
