Diva's Blues
lyrics: Rebecca Nebula Sites 2012
music: Gilmore, Stanley, Venden, Sites
I don’t sing this song for glory.
I don’t sing this song for fame.
I don’t even sing this song so you’ll remember my name
(which is Rebecca, by the way, R-E-B-E-C-C-A)
I neglect my child to rehearse,
Bleed my soul to write a verse
Just to beautify the universe
Oh why was I blessed with this curse?
So smile, dance, applaud for more
But don’t think I don’t know the score
I know it’s not really me that you adore
(Cuz) I’m just the muse’s whore
You know, the search for stardom , it smacks of greed
With a billion babies’ mouths to feed
But bringing joy is my selfish need
So all my fans are friends indeed
So if you all would just be so kind
And in the end my fortune find
(Yeah, and don’t forget to tip your bartender)
I promise I won’t lose
I promise I won’t lose
I promise
(Well I might just lose my soul, but..)
I promise
I won’t lose my mind
