Ready for My Close Up

I am ready for my close-up,

I am ready for love,

I am ready for my close-up,

I am ready for love.

You could fly to the moon,

Discover a wonder drug,

You could solve world hunger,

If you want it badly enough.

Find the love of your life,

Grow thicker hair,

Buy total satisfaction,

Or whatever gets you there.

I am ready for my close-up,

I am ready for love,

I am ready for my close-up,

I am ready for love.

. Did you make your bed this morning?

Did you write your thank-yous?

Your mind makes the world around you,

You’re behind the autocue.

All of this will be one day yours,

If you never let yourself stop,

And whatever you set your mind to,

Is the thing you’ve already got,

In here.

I am ready for my close-up,

I am ready for love,

I am ready for my close-up,

I am ready for love.

When they look into your eyes,

Will they see the madness in your heart?

Will they see how far you've travelled,

Just to reach the start.

Better to burn out brightly,

Than to fade and fizzle away,

So turn you heart into a firework,

And in the darkness follow your flame.

I am ready for my close-up,

I am ready for love,

I am ready for my close-up,

I am ready for love.
