That’s the View From Here (Famous Folk Are Weird)

[Verse 1]
Wear this, don't wear that, don't step out of place
Just smile, don't say too much, put that makeup on your face
Just keep pretendin' you're having a good time
'Cause that's the price of fame when you're standing in the line

[Chorus]
That's the view from here
That's the view from here
It's loss and pain and tears
And all you want's a beer
Keep your loved ones near
Oh, keep your loved ones near
'Cause famous folk are weird
That's the view from here

[Verse 2]
Say this, don't say that if you want your record played
Turn down where you're from, we can't hear a word you say
You're a small fish in a big fish pond and the water here is deep
Down in this lonely town we dance to a different beat

[Chorus]
That's the view from here
That's the view from here
It's loss and pain and tears
And all you want's a beer
Oh, keep your loved ones near
Yeah, keep your loved ones near
'Cause famous folk are weird
That's the view from here

[Bridge]
So wave goodbye
To the castle in the sky

[Chorus]
That's the view from here
That's the view from here
It's loss and pain and tears
And all you want's a beer
Keep your loved ones near
Keep your loved ones near
'Cause famous folk are weird
That's the view from here
Keep your loved ones near
Oh, keep your loved ones near
'Cause famous folk are weird
That's the view from here

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
That's the view from here
Oh, that's the view from here
It's loss and pain and tears
And all you want's a beer
Keep your loved ones near
Oh, keep your loved ones near
'Cause famous folk are weird
That's the view from here
