Big Shot - Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - December 31, 1999
Well you went uptown riding in your limousine
With your fine park avenue clothes
You had the dom perignon in your hand
The spoon up your nose
And when you wake up in the morning
With your head on fire
Your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't come bitchin' to me
Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You know what everything's about
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night
They were all impressed with your halston dress
The people that you knew at elaine's
And the story of your latest success
Kept 'em so entertained
But now you just can't remember
All the things you said
You're not sure you want to know
I'll give you one hint, honey
You sure did put on a show
Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to prove it to the crowd
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You're so much fun to be around
You had to have the front page, bold type
You had to be a big shot last night
Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in
If you know when to leave it alone
But you went over the line
You couldn't see it was time to go home
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You know what everything's about
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night
Big shot
Big shot
Big shot
Big shot
Big shot
Big shot
Big shot
Big shot
With your fine park avenue clothes
You had the dom perignon in your hand
The spoon up your nose
And when you wake up in the morning
With your head on fire
Your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't come bitchin' to me
Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You know what everything's about
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night
They were all impressed with your halston dress
The people that you knew at elaine's
And the story of your latest success
Kept 'em so entertained
But now you just can't remember
All the things you said
You're not sure you want to know
I'll give you one hint, honey
You sure did put on a show
Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to prove it to the crowd
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You're so much fun to be around
You had to have the front page, bold type
You had to be a big shot last night
Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in
If you know when to leave it alone

You couldn't see it was time to go home
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You know what everything's about
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night
Big shot
Big shot
Big shot
Big shot
Big shot
Big shot
Big shot
Big shot
