Well the line was so long I had to see where it led myself Pretty sure that I could feel what the think pieces said they felt At least enough to follow the night's conversation At a party full of fellow wanna be sensations Saying that's what's going on and if you don't wanna be left behind Be the next jam pumping in the background of everybody's grind Streaming out of the windows of whatever we're driving So that when we show up it sounds more like we're arriving at the big time We wanna have a big time We're gonna have a big time Where the long line leads We only have a short time So make it a big one And instead of the list you'll be on the marquee Smoke rising from the ashes where the long line leads Well sign me up and tell me every last thing I'm gonna need to change So no think piece can feel that I was ever any other way And when they say I've hit my stride I'll be ready to strut Which foot you think'll look best in front of the other? Dance dancing up a hill to houses you can see from miles around Sure a quake will probably take em but we chance it to impress this town To become one of the angels who have earned their wings Flapping madly so they don't become the last big thing at the big time We wanna have a big time We're gonna have a big time Where the long line leads We only have a short time So make it a big one In the flames where we go to show off and be showed Like it isn't what we're doing but how many other people know I'm gonna hit the big time And when I hit the big time Y'all are gonna have a big time Where the long line leads It might be a short time But it's gonna be a big one Gonna shake ya like the Big One We're having us a big time And we're gonna have a big time Showing everyone our big times On our little feeds We only have a short time But we're making it a big one Til none of us have waited in a line so long Or so loudly told so many that's what's going on Or so quietly wondered why we didn't feel the heat Smoke rising from the ashes where the long line leads
