Life sucks to be on fire

can i start shinin' now?
my star's about burr-end out
I'm ready to do anything,
and I'm on fire

I'd like to start shouting out
I think that I've had it now
I'm ready to be anything
and I'm for hire

the words they don't mean shit at all
w-waiting for the world to call
they're burning up and breathing air
Makes me wonder why I care.
(It makes me wonder why I care)
It makes me wonder if I care.
[It makes me wonder if I care,
It makes me wonder if you'd mind
It makes me wonder if I have mine]

can I start by lying down?
watch the stars just work it out
I could swear I'm falling down
I could swear that I'm a lie

think I'd like to start shouting now
to pretend that I've had it out
I'm ready for most anything
but I'm tired
