When Will I Be Famous

Yes you're suitably at one
With your body and the sun
Yes you are
Well you've read Karl Marx
And you've taught yourself to dance
You're the best by far
But you keep asking the question
One you're not supposed to mention

When will I will I be famous
(I can't answer I can't answer that)
When will I see my picture in the paper
When will I will I be famous
You keep asking me baby

You're a slave to the fashion
And your life is full of passion
It's the way you are
Yes you've suffered for your art
With the jogging in the park
You know you should go far
But you keep asking the question
One you're not supposed to mention

When will I will I be famous
(I can't answer I can't answer that)
When will I see my picture in the paper
Oh I can't tell you when
You'll see your name up in lights
When will I will I be famous
You keep asking me baby

You won't suffer in silence
You're a talent you know
That I've noticed
You'd like to be a legend
A big star overnight
I can't answer your question
It's driving me insane
Your impossible impatience
Tearing at my brain

When will I will I be famous
(I can't answer I can't answer that)
When will I see my picture in the paper
Oh I can't tell you when
You'll see your name up in lights
When will I will I be famous
You keep asking me baby
