Well I saw you standing proud
Full of ego and talking so loud
And you recalled the days
When you were ingénue
Then you were drunk and feelin’ low
With your two stooges in tow
Saying this bar
Holds nothin’ for you
Well take a look at yourself
You’re past your prime
Those limelight days are all just cheap words now
You peaked early babe
It was such a swift climb
And all things from here on out
Will be post-climatic, somehow
You object to my review
Of your current state, do you?
And you think I’m bitter
About my lack of game?
Well, I know I’m not happy
But don’t put this back on me
You’re responsible
For what happened to your name
Well take a look at yourself
You’re past your prime
Those limelight days are all just cheap words now
You peaked early babe
It was such a swift climb
And all things from here on out
Will be post-climatic, somehow
Do you remember when I’d stall
To hear your voice in the hall
And you’d always look on
Another way?
Well, my ship has now set sail
And you’re stuck dodging the hail
You’ve got to look people in the eyes, now
For the rest of your days
So you’re tired of all the pain that’s come along
You’re tired of all the stress
You looked worried about a minute ago
When you thought you were in a mess
Well take a look at yourself
You’re past your prime
Those limelight days are all just cheap words now
You peaked early babe
It was such a swift climb
And all things from here on out
Will be post-climatic, somehow
