Lyrics

Spotlights gleam across a Star Search nation A million cries of "me" drown out the cruel frustrations of a normal life It's a different kind of thinking A whole new way of telling lies 'til they're true When you're waiting for the light And we're all waiting for the same light these days A job well done is not enough without a front page photograph Death comes quickly to the poor and obscure Booby prizes for the kind and unsure When they're standing in the light 40 channels of a daydream stimulation Help me to forget myself and raise my expectations of a better life I'm ready to be special now Get what I deserve and shine for an hour Standing in the light [Chorus] And it would help if you could die (It's a tiny little world) Something fast and tragic at an early age Guilty soon as you try (Teeny tiny little heroes) Get a sense of history put yourself on the page It's an ugly sight (In a tiny ugly world) When everybody's on the stage She's got a face to launch a thousand supersonic jets A waitress in another life, how easily she forgets Looks back with a sigh to simpler days She's not ungrateful, just caught up in the chase Still waiting for the light [Chorus] And it would help if you could die (It's a tiny little world) Something fast and tragic at an early age Guilty soon as you try (Teeny tiny little heroes) Get a sense of history put yourself on the page It's an ugly sight (In a tiny ugly world) When everybody's on the stage Think of me (It's a tiny little world) Watch what you do. Watch what you say Drink with me (Teeny tiny little heroes) I'd be so grateful, if you could think of a way to pay Don't dream of me (In a tiny ugly world) Have it any other way
