he got a job in a record store

where he works all day

seems like he does okay

but he's so quiet all the time

when he leaves the shop

he goes straight back home

you know



and when he's there

he puts the limelight on

and he don't care

what else is going on

'cause then he's stella the star



he's got a dress in the warderobe

he puts lipstick on

and high heel shoes

like the girl in the magazine

when he leaves the house

and walks to the bar



and when he's there

he puts the limelight on

and he don't care

what else is going on

'cause then he's stella the star



he shines and shines and shines

until the pain

until the pain is gone

he shines and shines and shines

until the night

until the night is gone



he got a dress in the warderobe

he puts lipstick on

and high heel shoes

like the girl in the video

he wants to be

in the tv show

you know
