The Stars of Amateur Hour Lyrics

Sometimes recovering takes half a day
then lips get red
the lights go down
and all the kiddies come out to play
well just a little skin
it keeps them coming back
for just a little sin
it's how you look not how you act

a drunken sprawl reclaims these streets
most every night
to search and destroy
a chosen few
who thought they might get out alive

hey just a little skin
it keeps them coming back
for just a little sin
no matter what price it exacts
you pay your dues on battered lips and broken themes
your little scenes played out in bars
well welcome to the grownup world
it's time you learned we are the stars of amateur hour

a certain inept licentiousness
an artless gluttony for squalid nights
and heated promises
but just a little skin
it brings us crawling back
for just a little skin
yeah we all want it like that.
you pay your dues on battered lips and broken themes
your little scenes played out in bars
well welcome to the grownup world
it's time you learned we are the stars...
of amateur hour.

you pay your dues on battered lips and broken themes
your little scenes played out in bars
well welcome to the grownup world
it's time you learned we are the stars
the stars
the stars
