"When Will I Be Famous?" Lyrics

When will I, will I be famous?

You're suitably at one with your body and the sun, yes you are
You've read Karl Marx and you've taught yourself to dance
You're the best by far but you keep asking the question
Oh, 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?
I can't answer, I can't answer that.

When will I, will I be famous? You keep asking me, babe

You're a slave to fashion and your life is full of passion
It's the way you are
You've suffered for your art with the iogging in the park
You know you should go far! But you keep asking the question
Oh, you're not supposed to mention.
When will I, will I be famous?
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, babe

I can't wait
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 over night!
I can't answer your question, I can't wait, it's driving me insane
And you're impossible in patience, tearing at my brain!

When will I, will I be famous? I can't answer, I can't answer that.
