Desire Lights

I've seen the golden lights before

Glowing, in the convenience store

Each isle glistens and it gleams

Tuna cans stacked up, floor to ceiling

Wish I could shine as bring them all

Like the bulb of cinema lens

I could be someone they never forget

Is it a crime?

If I see my name in lights along the marquee

Each day I pray

That Tinseltown will find a place for me

And is it crime?

If I see my name displayed across the silver screen

It might seem wrong

But I know my life will wind up like a movie

And every night I relive the dream

In the mirror acting out my favorite scene

Every line I know to a T

With the perfect looks to keep me on the silver screen

Is it a crime?

If I see my name in lights along the marquee

Each day I pray

That Tinseltown will find a place for me

And is it crime?

If I see my name displayed across the silver screen

It might seem wrong

But I know my life will wind up like a movie
