Traffic Island - Karaoke Song lyrics

rate me

When the audience don't come to you

you'll have to go where the audience is

And now I'm singing just karaoke songs

The way things are is alright for me

An ultimate opportunity

Free PR for my own one man show

And all these people came here to see me perform a little karaoke song

I'm sure that things are gonna change

Today's backstage is just the counter

I pay to let them see the star is born

But I refuse to be too easy

I'll let them wait all through the evening to hear my version of "New York,

New York"

And all these people came here to see me perform a little karaoke song

But when you try to sing along

I think I'll shut you down yeah

These minutes are mine

I'm on solo

So don't try to sing along

I'm the one with the microphone yeah

And this is my karaoke song

A pretty boy with his glasses on

is melting every heart with Orbison

An obvious choice for a karaoke song

So I continue my one town tour

two blocks down to the next venue

and I will be the most admired boy

And all these people came here to see me perform a little karaoke song

But when you try to sing along...
