Makin' Tracks

Lookin' in the mirror, wanna look like my mummy,
Lipstick on my face, lookin' very funny.
When I grow up, wanna make lots of money!
Wanna be a superstar, 
Wanna be a popstar!

High hopes, makin' tracks
Wanna be famous -
Don' wanna go back
To bein' nothin',
Nothin' at all. 
I want loads of fans
And be standin' tall 
Everythin' revolvin' round ME!

Lookin' in the mirror, fixin' my hair,
Goin' on the stage, all my friends are there!
Livin' my life as if I don' care!
Gonna be a superstar
Gonna be a pop star!

In a studio, makin' tracks,
Gonna be famous,
Don' wanna go back
To bein' nothin',
Nothin' at all
I want loads of fans
And be standin' tall.
Everythin' revolvin' round ME!

Lookin' in the camera, paps in my face!
Night on the town, I act a disgrace.
Smokin' the dragon, I like to chase!
Wish I was no superstar!
Wish I was no pop star!

Somebody stop me in my tracks!
Do I wanna be famous?
Please let me go back
To bein' nothin' 
Nothin' at all
Where nobody knew me,
Where I could be small! 

Lookin' in the mirror, high as a kite
Snortin' coke, injectin' China White!
I begin to feel like Dynamite!
Never thought I'd go this far,
Do I wanna be a star?

Makin' tracks with a heroin needle!
Doin' drugs - an unnecessary evil
It ain't good cos it's illegal!
I really wanna go back
To bein' nothin'
Nothin' at all
Where nobody knew me
Where I could be small!

Lookin' in my coffin, tears in their eyes, 
Deep in their hearts it was no surprise!
They really wished I had been wise!
They thought I'd never go this far
They always thought I'd be a star!

Wheels under my casket, makin' tracks
To the six foot hole, deep and black!
They all wanted me to go back
To bein' nothin' 
Nothin' at all
Where nobody knew me, 
Where I could be small!
