Blood-red lipstick painted on
Lighting up another sundown cigarette
Cameras ready, curtains strung
Lights are on, the stage is set
Blinding diamonds can't keep shinin' on your stolen crown
Sooner or later, we all know that plastic castles all fall down
I saw you faking a smile, take a lap in your gown
Loving yourself when there's no one around
Are you the talk of the town now?
Are you the talk of the town now?
And when you're sitting alone, take a look at you now
You see your reflection, is it making you proud?
Are you the talk of the town now?
Are you the talk of the town now?
Are you the talk of the town?
Morning after headache hits
Still no sign of last night's ghost at home
Is this what living really is?
Can't give away yourself if you want to be known
I saw you faking a smile, take a lap in your gown
Loving yourself when there's no one around
Are you the talk of the town now?
Are you the talk of the town now?
And when you're sitting alone, take a look at you now
You see your reflection, is it making you proud?
Are you the talk of the town now?
Are you the talk of the town now?
Are you the talk of the town?
Blinding diamonds can't keep shinin' on your stolen crown
Sooner or later, we all know that plastic castles all fall down
I saw you faking
I saw you faking a smile, take a lap in your gown
Loving yourself when there's no one around
Are you the talk of the town now?
Are you the talk of the town now?
And when you're sitting alone, take a look at you now
You see your reflection, is it making you proud?
Are you the talk of the town now?
Are you the talk of the town now?
Are you the talk of the town?
