Crowded House - So Dramatic Lyrics

You turned eleven in '79
In plain dark paper, the present arrived
Out of costume and makeup inside

Oh, you're so dramatic
But is it wise
To underline your eyes?

The main attraction, a star on your door
You're called to action and blood on the floor
You crave attention like never before

Oh, you're so dramatic
But is it wise
To underline your eyes?

They close behind you a shadow of doubt
A crowd of people that follow you about

Oh, you're so dramatic
But is it wise
To underline your eyes?

And truth is so run down
Can hardly raise it's head
But slowly dies

And if you want to make it right
Aah, aah, aah

Oh, you're so dramatic
But is it wise
To underline your eyes?

And if you want to take the prize
You'll have to make a sacrifice
If you are like all the rest
A victim of your own success
