lyrics

Cameo
Chris Velan

I’ll be straight
Alright, look
Lately, my phone
Hasn’t been ringing off the hook
My agent says
She’s still trying
But everybody thinks
I’m either dead or dying

Everyone’s a movie
Worth sitting through
Just give me a chance
And I’ll show you

There was a time
The world was mine
I had them all
Hanging on the line
But time does all the casting
You know how the story goes
And fame’s never lasting
For the old star
Who nobody knows

Everyone’s a movie
Worth sitting through
Just give me a chance
I’ll prove it to you

I’m not too proud to beg
I can face the facts
Just don’t tell me there are no second acts
I still got it in me
I’m an old hand
I need this badly
I need you to understand

Everyone’s a movie
Worth sitting through
Right ‘til the end
When the credits roll into black and blue
I don’t need the lead
Just a minor role
I’ll even take a cameo
I just want to be in your picture
I will take a cameo
I just want to be in your picture
