Change my name like Penny Lane
And go and start a new life sitting on the starline
A bittersweet escape
Fuck all I've ever known, my home was never home

Since I was young, I was outbound
I wasn't meant for the background
Waitin', prayin', sayin'

I wanna be a silver screen baby
I want the world to love me or hate me
Spin on a Golden Globe
Life is la vie en rose
I wanna be a silver screen honey
Immortalized, so time cannot touch me
Hand me a microphone
So I'll never be alone

Write my history like Madonna
Virgin on a Greyhound, little girl a goner
Dye my hair and paint my makeup
Sleepless in Seattle, we had to break up

Since I was young, I was outbound
I wasn't meant for the background
Waitin', prayin', sayin'

I wanna be a silver screen baby
I want the world to love me or hate me
Spin on a Golden Globe
Life is la vie en rose
I wanna be a silver screen honey
Immortalized, so time cannot touch me
Hand me a microphone
So I'll never be alone
Alone, alone

I know there's a place for me sometime, somewhere
Under all the lights where they can't find me

Look at me, I'm a silver screen baby
Now all the world can love me or hate me
Spin on a Golden Globe
Life is la vie en rose
Look at me now, a silver screen honey
Immortalized, so time cannot touch me
Hand me a microphone
So I'll never be alone
Alone

Since I was young, I was outbound
I wasn't meant for the background
Careful what you wish for
