Marvellous

You hit the balls of a swan and you're put on a pedestal
everybody wants a piece of the action
You take a crap on a canvas and it's put out for sale
you're high society's main attraction
Fell in a stream of gold and you are suddenly brilliant
but only feel like a polished turd
But for as long as you can, you keep on playing the lover
in this theater of the absurd

But I don't want it, I'm falling through
You know you need it, cause you wanna believe when they say

You're marvellous
You're marvellous
You're marvellous

They call you marvellous

She went from hero to zero in the blink of an eye
not even grandma can remember her name
She put the shine on her feathers but the ink's running dry
she's got a brand new sense of shame
I am a spent horse with a fancy stable
I am a prisoner of my own device
I've got so much to give, but there's noone who want it
I think I've made the greatest sacrifice - you know what I'm talking about

But you don't want it, you're falling through
I know I need it, cause I really believe when they say

I'm marvellous
I'm marvellous
I'm marvellous
They call me marvellous

We're marvellous, marvellous, marvellous
we want to believe when they say

We're marvellous, marvellous, marvellous
we want to believe when they say

He's marvellous
she's marvellous
you're marvellous
we're marvellous!

we're marvellous
we're marvellous
we're marvellous
they call us marvellous
