Black Ice |
Nobody’s second guess’ll get to surpass you |
In your over-estimation of your innate worth |
And your natural virtue |
But someone’s hear to bend your ear with a quiet word |
Best pay attention, you’ll get no better advice: |
Clamp on the crampons, riding for a fall tonight |
Get a grip, this slippery slope you stand on |
Is a sheet of black ice |
Now the rush of blood’s gushing in upon you |
In slow motion you strain to maintain your poise |
The red carpet reception |
A clear spotlight affair that you can’t avoid |
Forward projection, everyone here seems so nice |
Handbags and gladrags, milk the applause tonight |
Geta grip, this starry stair you’re cliimbing’s |
Built on blocks of black ice |
There’s no safety net ready there to catch you |
And your overstated case has unravelled fast |
This is no perfect playground |
Though stardom’s accidental moment has been a blast |
You try to get a grip |
But the hipster trip’s undone you |
You’re skidding on the black ice |
