[Verse 1: Sia]
~#**************#~
Watch children cry
~#**************#~
The pageant sells the lie
~#**************#~
Third place isnt winning, you know
~#**************#~
Neither is first
~#**************#~
The pressure and the thirst
~#**************#~
For this skeletons show
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: Sia]
~#**************#~
I am so thin-skinned
~#**************#~
Dont scratch the surface
~#**************#~
Please let me live within
~#**************#~
Within this circus
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Sia]
~#**************#~
Little dreams come crashing
~#**************#~
Let them wave in passing
~#**************#~
‘Cause fame wont love you like a mother, like a father should
~#**************#~
And you may wish for Oscars
~#**************#~
Grammys and blockbusters
~#**************#~
But they wont love you like a brother, like a lovеr should
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus: Sia]
~#**************#~
No, oh
~#**************#~
Fame wont love you like a mothеr, like a father should
~#**************#~
Woah, oh
~#**************#~
Fame wont love you like a mother, like a father should
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Paris Hilton]
~#**************#~
Searched in your eyes
~#**************#~
For some glimmer of light
~#**************#~
Tap dancing for one million miles
~#**************#~
I looked for the smiles
~#**************#~
Oh, hoping in them Id find
~#**************#~
Validation for my futile existence
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: Sia & Paris Hilton]
~#**************#~
I am so thin-skinned
~#**************#~
Dont scratch the surface
~#**************#~
Please let me live within
~#**************#~
Within this circus
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Sia & Paris Hilton]
~#**************#~
Little dreams come crashing
~#**************#~
Let them wave in passing
~#**************#~
‘Cause fame wont love you like a mother, like a father should
~#**************#~
And you may wish for Oscars
~#**************#~
Grammys and blockbusters
~#**************#~
But they wont love you like a brother, like a lover should
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus: Sia & Paris Hilton]
~#**************#~
No, no
~#**************#~
Fame wont love you like a mother, like a father should
~#**************#~
No, no
~#**************#~
Fame wont love you like a mother, like a father should
~#**************#~
[Outro: Sia & Paris Hilton]
~#**************#~
No, oh
~#**************#~
Fame wont love you like a mother, like a father should
~#**************#~
Woah, oh
~#**************#~
Fame wont love you like a mother, like a father should
~#**************#~
Woah
