Sometimes I feel really glad 
Looking back at the fun we've had 
But sometimes I want so much more 
Than this tug of war 
I'm longing for 
Swinging scenes in magazines 
They're just distant dreams now 

Some say it feels really bad 
When those vicious tongues, begin to wag 
But somehow all those paper lies 
Just anaesthetise the passers by 
The faceless clowns that put me down 
Don't bring me down 

I'm lost inside this brain drain 
Taking me over 
Somehow, I get to play the fame game 
Lost inside this brain drain 
I used to long for 

A call to action, a strange attraction 

Somehow I'm not ready for 
Feeling bored and wanting more 
The radio plays like a uniform 
And dips you brains in chloroform 
They're so concerned 
The spoken word 
Seems so absurd 

I'm lost inside this brain drain 
Taking me over 
Somehow, I get to play the fame game 
Lost inside this brain drain 
I used to long for 

A call to action, a strange attraction 
It's never the way it goes 
Just in time, too late to know 

I've realised 
I'm lost inside 
I'm mesmerised 
I'm lost inside this brain drain 
Taking me over 
Somehow, I get to play the fame game 
Lost inside this brain drain 
I used to long for
