Homicide on the edge of town and no-one said it be easy
Sure has its ups and downs and Garfield is laughing
Sitting in a dark room, making love with Sylvania
No so called friends around, cigarettes and champagne
Gonna make me a big star, oh haven't you heard yet
Don't know how its going to go, too young to tell
And if it's just my name, well, hell I can change it
And if it's for the fame, I guess I better grab it fast
But it's just a dangerous game that you're playing, ooh
And you play it so well, so let's play it again
Sidewalks and streetlights sure make a pretty picture
Strangers in the night, are you going my way
You can drop me off at the corner
I can walk the rest of the way
It's not that far to the nearest star
And if it's for the money, hey why can't I have it
And if it's for the glory, I guess I better grab it fast
But it's just a dangerous game that you're playing, ooh
And you play it so well, so let's play it again, ooh
Let's play it again
