Overexposed (demo)
by The Cow Exchange
I asked Niveous (of Songfight! and 10kdays fame) to write two songs' worth of lyrics for my FAWMage. Here is part one! It's a love-ish song, which doesn't happen much in Cow Exchange-land unless we're talking about poo or notebooks, so mark your bingo cards.
Thanks Niv! Now I'm out of breath. :)
I used to be Mr. Office 9 to 5
Watch the game with a TV dinner at night
Til a chance encounter at the local pub
Brought you into my life
You were a Hollywood centerfold
Looking for a brew, slumming with the joes
I caught your eye, brought you a drink
How I won you over, nobody knows
Now it's all black tie gala events
Smoking cigars with former presidents
Red carpet movie premieres
E! critiquing down my fashion sense
Tabloid covers of you and I
Asking who's the starlet's mystery guy
Now every single step I take
Is in the paparazzi's camera's eye
And now I'm overexposed like Pamela Anderson
And now I'm overexposed like K-Fed
And now I'm overexposed like The Pocket Fisherman
All I wanted was a simple life and a girl like you
Everywhere we go I'm seein' flashbulbs
My hair's all teased up like A Flock of Seagulls
I just wanted a simple date with you
But it feels like Mission Impossible
This is all too much for a simple guy like me
I'm now a C-List Celebrity
But true love doesn't happen everyday
So I'll take it, whatever will be, will be
(solo)
And now I'm overexposed like Paris Hilton
And now I'm overexposed like Tom Cruise
And now I'm overexposed like The Ronco Food Dehydrator
All I wanted was a simple life and a girl
And now I'm overexposed like Michael Jackson
And now I'm overexposed like Donald Trump
And now I'm overexposed like Britney's inner thigh
All I wanted was a simple life and a girl and a life and a girl like you
