Lyrics

I am ready for my close-up today Too long I've let my self-respect stand in my way Well, the prom queen's caught in the high beams And the strings keen, it's a big scene But when the house goes up in flames No one emerges triumphantly from it When the scum begins to circle the drain Everybody loves a winner I spent eight hours in my makeup chair Waxed my chest and shaved off all my hair Well, the fire's bright and the frame's tight Try to get right while we've still got light But when the house goes up in flames No one emerges triumphantly from it When the scum begins to circle the drain Everybody loves a winner When the house goes up in flames When the scum begins to circle the drain
