Lyrics
Nobody's second guess'll get to surpass you In your over-estimation of your innate worth And your natural virtue But someone's hear to bend your ear with a quiet word Best pay attention, you'll get no better advice: Clamp on the crampons, riding for a fall tonight Get a grip, this slippery slope you stand on Is a sheet of black ice Now the rush of blood's gushing in upon you In slow motion you strain to maintain your poise The red carpet reception A clear spotlight affair that you can't avoid Forward projection, everyone here seems so nice Handbags and gladrags, milk the applause tonight Geta grip, this starry stair you're cliimbing's Built on blocks of black ice There's no safety net ready there to catch you And your overstated case has unravelled fast This is no perfect playground Though stardom's accidental moment has been a blast You try to get a grip But the hipster trip's undone you You're skidding on the black ice
