Talk Show Ghost (Remix)
The talk of the town
Ain't nobody's clown
With the flick of his wrist he shoots the competition down
Suave and cool
Ain't nobody's fool
He was top of the world while you were still in primary school
But every star goes out
And now he's filled with doubt
Cause he cannot figure out what his life's about
He self-medicates
Lowers his rates
Becomes a has-been stuck in dire straits
Deep down we're all a bit like him
We're human beings with broken limbs
His head is as fragile as everyone else
Now he's a closed book put upon the highest shelf
No one can believe he was the hottest thing
Now he's forgotten when he was the king
He's proof you can still fall from the highest heights
When you let yourself get consumed by heavy nights
A talk show ghost
Eclipsed by the host
He clings to anything that he can boast
He lost his dreams
Broken at the seams
Now he's living through the darkest scenes
But every star goes out
And now he's filled with doubt
Cause he cannot figure out what his life's about
He self-medicates
Lowers his rates
Becomes a has-been stuck in dire straits
Deep down we're all a bit like him
We're human beings with broken limbs
His head is as fragile as everyone else
Now he's a closed book put upon the highest shelf
No one can believe he was the hottest thing
Now he's forgotten when he was the king
He's proof you can still fall from the highest heights
When you let yourself get consumed by heavy nights
Ain't nobody's clown
With the flick of his wrist he shoots the competition down
Suave and cool
Ain't nobody's fool
He was top of the world while you were still in primary school
But every star goes out
And now he's filled with doubt
Cause he cannot figure out what his life's about
He self-medicates
Lowers his rates
Becomes a has-been stuck in dire straits
Deep down we're all a bit like him
We're human beings with broken limbs
His head is as fragile as everyone else
Now he's a closed book put upon the highest shelf
No one can believe he was the hottest thing
Now he's forgotten when he was the king
He's proof you can still fall from the highest heights
When you let yourself get consumed by heavy nights
A talk show ghost
Eclipsed by the host
He clings to anything that he can boast
He lost his dreams
Broken at the seams
Now he's living through the darkest scenes
But every star goes out
And now he's filled with doubt
Cause he cannot figure out what his life's about
He self-medicates
Lowers his rates
Becomes a has-been stuck in dire straits
Deep down we're all a bit like him
We're human beings with broken limbs
His head is as fragile as everyone else
Now he's a closed book put upon the highest shelf
No one can believe he was the hottest thing
Now he's forgotten when he was the king
He's proof you can still fall from the highest heights
When you let yourself get consumed by heavy nights
