Starlight effect and a cigarette
You should be getting ready for the big day
Quotas to fill, bills to pay
The centre of the world on a pedestal
Until it's your turn to take the fall
Everyone's there, no one gives you a call

Hype comes, love goes, everybody fades
Hiding every day behind the shelter of your shades
You can't make it go away
Ginger shot, vitamins, shower cold, feeling old
Just do everything the way you arе told
Case closed, soul sold

Everybody's waiting at thе ball
For you to shine now, for you to shine now
Everybody's waiting at the ball
Everybody's waiting at the ball
For you to shine like a lighthouse after all
Everybody's waiting at the ball

What a wonderful life
A perfect time to get lost in deep, unoriginal line
There's nothing left, just flight or die
Lonesome and run down
Can't tell the sky from the ground
Turn little around

No one's ever gonna make it easy, love
You're the only one who can, the only one

Hype comes, love goes, everybody fades
Hiding every day behind the shelter of your shades
You can't make it go away
Ginger shot, vitamins, shower cold, feeling old
Just do everything the way you are told
Case closed, soul sold

(Everybody's waiting at the ball)
For you to shine now, for you to shine now
Everybody's waiting at the ball
Everybody's waiting at the ball
For you to shine like a lighthouse after all
Everybody's waiting (everybody's waiting)
Everybody's waiting (everybody's waiting)
At the ball
At the ball

At the ball
