lyrics

I’ve seen the golden lights before
Glowing, in the convenience store
Each isle glistens and it gleams
Tuna cans stacked up, floor to ceiling
Wish I could shine as bring them all
Like the bulb of cinema lens
I could be someone they never forget

Is it a crime?
If I see my name in lights along the marquee
Each day I pray
That Tinseltown will find a place for me
And is it crime?
If I see my name displayed across the silver screen
It might seem wrong
But I know my life will wind up like a movie

And every night I relive the dream
In the mirror acting out my favorite scene
Every line I know to a T
With the perfect looks to keep me on the silver screen

Is it a crime?
If I see my name in lights along the marquee
Each day I pray
That Tinseltown will find a place for me
And is it crime?
If I see my name displayed across the silver screen
It might seem wrong
But I know my life will wind up like a movie
