Famous as Hell Lyrics
NARRATOR
It starts with just a taste
But then needs to be fed
And suddenly the dreams you’ve chased
Are chasing you instead
As more fans join the fold
Your humdrum life recedes
The road you’re on is paved with gold
But who knows where
Who knows where it leads
Melissa!
How does it feel to be their fantasy?
MELISSA, SPOKEN
Feels great!
NARRATOR
It was a rhetorical question
Josh!
Can you live up to all they want you to be?
JOSH, SPOKEN
Is that also a rhetorical quest –
NARRATOR
Yes. Yes, it is!
Another damn rhetorical question!
Fame, fame
You don’t stay long but we’re oh-so glad you came
Fame
We’re oh-so glad you came
And my people say
ENSEMBLE
Hey hey Josh
Oh my gosh
Give me your head to anoint
Give me your feet to wash
Hey there Mel
Lookin’ swell
How does it feel to be famous as hell?
JENNY
Now we’re kaput
TOPHER
Someone stole my doorway
CODWELL
Oh, they’re good enough to eat
BLIGHT
Kill them all
KRATT
Two birds with one stone
BARFLY
I’ll drink to that
NARRATOR
It starts with just a taste
But then needs to be fed
And suddenly the dreams you’ve chased
Are chasing you instead
Fame, fame
You don’t stay long but we’re oh-so glad you came
Fame
We’re oh-so glad you came
And my people say
ENSEMBLE
Hey hey Josh
Oh my gosh
Give me your head to anoint
Give me your feet to wash
