Staring at the Ceiling

Take a shot, have a lot, never stop

Front page, superstar right to the top

Break the bank, spendin’ cash until you drop

Is that the way that you want to be?

Thin line, look up close, you’ll go blind

Get away, you never seem to find the time

Fast times, you try another suicide

Is that what they’re expecting to see

I’m staring at the ceiling once again

I’m staring at the ceiling once again

Race the rats, careful you don’t come in last

Do the drug, and go jump off the overpass

Look away, glad to see you thinkin’ fast

Is that the show that you want to see

Open wide, living on the other side

Keep it up, whatever gets you through the night

In the sack, hopin’ you enjoy the ride

Is that where your expected to be?

I’m staring at the ceiling once again

I’m staring at the ceiling once again

I see your face in the paper

(I’m staring at, I’m staring at the ceiling)

Don’t think I will care much later

(I’m staring at, I’m staring at the ceiling)

Fame and fortune are so fleeting

(I’m staring at, I’m staring at the ceiling)

Leaves you staring at the ceiling.
