Pearl Socks

You've done it, in one hit, reached the summit
But does the game that we're playing finish if you've won it?
Carrying the hopes, the dreams, the scorn
It's a different world now to the one where you were born

But there's
Nowhere I know
Where a madman like you can't steal the show
They like to point and laugh and you do too, you think?
The crowd's your
Only shrink
And you're never escaping the box
No you're never escaping this box
So you might as well

Rock
Jump around, up and down, in your shiny pearl socks
Shock
You're famed and humble, waiting for the crumbling to
Stop
It's not excess if it covers up the mess
'Cause your mind's the fiend you know
So get on with the show
And rock

You've got minute by minute analytics
But have the media moguls told you how to spin it?
God forbid you worked at your own leisure
One against the world and yourself for good measure (Measure)

Because there's
Nowhere on Earth
That's gonna give you this kind of social worth
Guess that's the price you're paying to be a star
They all know
Who you are
And they're breaking all of your locks
Just to look at your shiny pearl shocks, woah-oh-oh

Rock
Slip and slide, side to side, in your shiny pearl socks
Shock
You're famed and humble, waiting for the crumbling to
Stop
It's not excess if it covers up the mess
'Cause your mind's the fiend you know
So get on with the show
And rock

Oh no, you're going loco, virtuoso
All of your faults disassembled on the radio
A life of ease ain't worth remembering, they say
Always a will, never a way

Frolic in hyperbolics
Since the best of the best should not be melancholic
Yet the caveman inside you keeps wanting more
So buy some ostentatious socks and the matching decor
Then

Rock
Might as well, since you're swell in your shiny pearl socks
Shock
You're famed and humble, waiting for the crumbling to
Stop
It's not excess if it covers up the mess
'Cause your mind's the fiend you know
So get on with it
Don't die, don't live
Just rock
