Atmosphere - The Keys To Life Vs. 15 Minutes Of Fame Lyrics
[Pilot over PA]"Folks I know you're all dying to know how long--I cannot answer that now. We're gonna have to remain as technicians come overand take a look at it and uh once that's done, then we'll give you an estimateI'd say it's probably at least uh 15 minutes or so."[Verse 1]It's like all of Franklin Avenue now sleeps upon my chest--my chestI've used cigarette butts and loose leaves to build my nest--build my nestDid I mention I appreciate the way you treat your guests?--guess notBut I'm not really convinced when you say that you're impressed--hell noThe line between MC and comedian gets a little thinner--little thinnerNow it's nothing but ruffage for lunch and punchlines for dinner--feed meI've tried to open the blinds to let in some sunshineWound the watch 'til it broke all in hopes of stopping the time[Chorus]The key broke off in the ignitionHoping if I wandered off through my thoughts wishingHoping this could be for you but it is for me patiently I stay busy, I wait, I see [X2]It's the sure shot [X6][Verse 2]See it's simple--simple, it's not that I want to make it ripple--rippleBut I feel I'm only being civil--civilWhen I sit back and giggle like the rest it's the ritalin-a-fest!I'm stressed--stressed, but most of 'em would never guess--never guessThat I'm closing in upon the dredgeWhy? Cause I think it'd be best for the who? To hide the mess from who?It's all true--it's all true not good but I know it'll do--it'll doStill trying to reach the kid in youSo I may continue to find why this childproof's so wildI smile--smile, tired, I walked a thousand miles--mileswired over the thoughts I've dialed--dialedInspired by the monsters, the files of life full of stars and stripes[Chorus][Chorus End]If you wanna sit with me and talk about existanceWe'll need more than 15 minutesI'll tell you what let's forget about the famePush pause on the game and get to know each other by our real namesIf you wanna sit with me and talk about existanceWe'll need more than 15 minutesI'll tell you what let's forget about the famePush pause on the game and get to know each other by our first namesIf you wanna sit with me and talk about existanceWe'll need more than 15 minutesI'll tell you what let's forget about the famePush pause on the game...What the *****'s your name?
