Lyrics
Pep talk

Reflection on a stovetop

Oh, it's only up from here

It's only up from here

It's just another week

Without another paycheck

Just living off breadcrumbs and vaseline

Breadcrumbs and vaseline

Just one lucky break

That's all I've ever asked for

I know one day they all will see

But I'll drop dead

Before I will admit it

And say that they were always right

They were always right

I'm waiting for the day I get that call

From a man in a black suit with lots of friends

Throw home away

I gotta kiss mama goodbye

And take a presidential flight out to LA

Oh, oh

Passing scripts and writing lines

Cutting wrists and shaking hands

Next thing I see is my face on a big screen

And everybody now knows my name

Flashes all around

You better watch what you say

'Cause every word you use now is gospel

Saturday, crash the limousine

Monday, tabloids show and tell

Just one lucky break

It's all I've ever asked for

And I knew one day they all would see

Just let me daydream

In the alleys of my mind

I'm where I wanna be

And I can finally see this through

When I wake up

I'll be ready for the day

When I'm where I wanna be

And I can finally see this through

Let me daydream

In the alleys of my mind

I'm where I wanna be

And I can finally see this through

When I wake up

I'll be ready for the day

When I'm where I wanna be

And I can finally see this through

And I can finally see this through

And I can finally see this through

And I can finally see this through

'Til then it's just another week

Without another paycheck

Just living off breadcrumbs and vaseline

Breadcrumbs and vaseline
