[Verse]
Spotlight’s shining and the crowd’s on fire
My voice climbs higher and higher
Polly pocket dreams I clutch so tight
But pulchritudinous fades under neon light
[Pre-Chorus]
I see their faces in the final bow
Victory is sweet but I wonder how
The boys in back don’t even glance my way
Guess pogs and Pokémon steal the day
[Chorus]
I’m a star in my shiny compact dream
Glitter and fame bursting at the seam
But their world is spinning in a plastic fog
Trading their hearts for a holographic pog
[Verse 2]
The judges cheered and the trophy gleamed
But my triumph felt like a fractured dream
I thought they’d care about my golden tune
But they huddle close with their Gameboys soon
[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to dazzle with my lipstick hues
But they just debated Pikachu’s moves
Pretty packaging can only go so far
When they’re lost in a world of trading cards
[Chorus]
I’m a star in my shiny compact dream
Glitter and fame bursting at the seam
But their world is spinning in a plastic fog
Trading their hearts for a holographic pog
