Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Oh mirror mirror You're coming in clear I'm finally somewhere in between I'm impressed What a beautiful chest I never meant to make a big scene Will you resign to the latest design You look so messy when you dress up in dreams One more for hire Or wonderful liar? I think its time we all should come clean Stack dead actors Stacked to the rafters Line up the bastards All I want is the truth Hey hey now, can you fake it? Can you make it look like we want? Hey hey now, can you take it? And we cry when they all die blond? God bless, what a sensitive mess Yeah but things aren't always what they seem Your teary eyes Your famous disguise Never knowing who to believe See through Yeah, but what do you do? When you're just another aging drag queen? Stack dead actors Stacked to the rafters Line up the bastards All I want is the truth Hey hey now, can you fake it? Can you make it look like we want? Hey hey now, can you take it? And we cry when they all die blond?
