Your heart is dark as film noir Like a cabaret, you're better from afar Don't keep us waiting for you This is your big debut If you forget your lines They'll feed you to the lions Great expectations All eyes are on you There is nothing That you wouldn't do But soon they'll want someone new Be sure that you're right on time For the big interview In suits and tongue ties They're counting on you Cameras flash and you go blind But you'll think you've seen the light The stars in your eyes Just cable satellites Great expectations All eyes are on you There is nothing That you wouldn't do But soon they'll want someone new And I like to be alone (In a crowded room) Unplug the telephone (They're calling for you) And watch the walls begin to waltz What if we pulled back the crimson curtains Would you be nothing more than A mink without a skin Great expectations All eyes are on you There is nothing That you wouldn't do But soon they'll want someone new And I like to be alone (In a crowded room) Unplug the telephone (They're calling for you) And watch the walls begin to waltz
