So Dramatic
Neil Finn
You turned eleven in ‘79
In plain dark paper, the present arrived
Found the costume and make up inside
Ooo, you’re so dramatic
But is it wise
To underline your eyes
The main attraction, a star on your door
A call to action and blood on the floor
You crave attention like never before
Ooo, you’re so dramatic
But is it wise
To underline your eyes
The clothes behind you, the shadow of doubt
A crowd of people that follow you about
Ooo, you’re so dramatic
But is it wise
To underline your eyes
And truth, is so run down
Can hardly raise its head
It slowly dies
And if you want to make it right
Ooo, you’re so dramatic
And is it wise
To underline your eyes
And if you want to take the prize
You’ll have to make a sacrifice
If you are like all the rest
A victim of your own success
If you want to take the prize
