STAR OF THE SHOW
		   (Waybill-Foster-Lukather)



Just what do you expect me to do
you act as if I've broken some taboo
you think you have the perfect playmate
but what you have is just a well paid slave

your insecurity
is just a ruse
cause what you really need
is someone to use
reminds me of Scarlett and Rhett
in Gone In The Wind
remember what happened to htem
but you're still

The star of the show
with no place to go
in your gilded cage
the star of the show
but nobody knows
you're the star of an empty stage

I always act as if you're the best
and I think that I deserve a second chance
I know I may not to be a he-man
but then you're not exactly Marilyn

My curiosity
has been satisfied
and I need you desperately
and why would I lie
we sound like Richard and Liz
we're at it again and again
and the checks just keep rolling in
so you're still

And how cruel the years
do take their toll
