Princess of Neon

Heroes get dismembered

Legends die too young

Make way for the new pretension

That finally overtook the outdated one

There are no rhinestone cowboys

There is no Man in Black

There is no King of Rock and roll

They were escorted

Through the door out the back

If you wanna be a pop star

You gotta play a 20, 000 dollar synthesizer

If you wanna drink champagne where the cameras are

You gotta lay your soul at the alter

Of the East Side Princess of Neon

I saw a golden kingdom

I saw a country queen

She was angel with a voice like a demon

And she was looking for a new song to sing

If you wanna be a pop star

You gotta play a 20, 000 dollar synthesizer

If you wanna drink champagne where the cameras are

You gotta lay your soul at the alter

Of the East Side Princess of Neon

Treat her right

And she'll make you look nice

You'll be the hottest new thing in town

Better play your cards close to your chest

Hope to God

What goes around might not come back around

If you wanna be a pop star

You gotta play a 20, 000 dollar synthesizer

If you wanna drink champagne where the cameras are

You gotta lay your soul at the alter

Of the East Side Princess of Neon
