I Wish My Daddy

Hey Mister mister got the time
I've been waiting forever at the starting line
You sell your soul to get this far
But still nobody knows who you are

Well lady lucks a twisted dame
She's only working for you if you got the name
So get on this board and take this town
Cause there aint nobody gonna help you out

It's oh so beautiful and oh so charmed
But you can't tell the charlatan from the star
A dangerous friend to make
You could be dancing with the devil
In this masquerade

It's a merry dance right from the start
Everybody's got conviction but they got no heart
A sinful life of luxury
Where all these beggars are just honest thieves
Don't close your eyes you'll miss your turn
There aint no room in here to live and learn
So take this town, don't be shy
Be sure you're working every alibi

It's oh so beautiful and oh so charmed
But you can't tell the charlatan from the star
A dangerous friend to make
You could be dancing with the devil
In this masquerade

The spotlights haze only ups the stakes
Make your claim
All these empty pleasantries,
Never seemed to work for me

It's oh so beautiful...
