Famous as Hell Lyrics

[NARRATOR]
It starts with just a taste
But then needs to be fed
And suddenly the dreams you've chased
Are chasing you instead

As more fans join the fold
Your humdrum life recedes
The road you're on is paved with gold
But who knows where
Who knows where it leads

Melissa!
How does it feel to be their fantasy?

[MELISSA, SPOKEN]
Feels great!

[NARRATOR]
It was a rhetorical question
Josh!
Can you live up to all they want you to be?

[JOSH, SPOKEN]
Is that also a rhetorical-

[NARRATOR]
Yes. Yes, it is!
Another damn rhetorical question!

Fame, fame
You don't stay long, but we're oh-so glad you came
Fame
We're oh-so glad you came
And my people say

[ENSEMBLE]
Hey, hey Josh
Oh my gosh
Give me your head to anoint
Give me your feet to wash
Hey there Mel
Lookin' swell
How does it feel to be famous as hell?

[JENNY]
Now we're kaput

[TOPHER]
Someone stole my doorway

[CODWELL]
Oh, they're good enough to eat

[BLIGHT]
Kill them all

[KRATT]
Two birds with one stone

[BARFLY]
I'll drink to that

[NARRATOR]
It starts with just a taste
But then needs to be fed
And suddenly the dreams you've chased
Are chasing you instead
I'll drink to that
Fame, fame
You don't stay long, but we're oh-so glad you came
Fame
We're oh-so glad you came
And my people say

[ENSEMBLE]
Hey, hey Josh
Oh my gosh
Give me your head to anoint
Give me your feet to wash

Hey there Mel
Lookin' swell
How does it feel to be famous as
Famous as

[NARRATOR AND ENSEMBLE]
