Shower Stage Superstar

by Midnight Arcade

“Everybody's a star in the bathroom with the water running, and this is our tribute to that. We layered the synth leads like a stadium crowd singing along with a shampoo bottle.”

Lyrics

Alarm goes off, I'm half asleep
Tiles are cold beneath my feet
Turn the water, let it steam
Every morning's got a dream

The shampoo bottle's in my hand
Ladies and gentlemen, take your stand

I'm a shower stage superstar
Singing loud, no matter who we are
Hot water spotlight on my face
Bathroom echo, perfect place
Oh, shower stage superstar
Hit the high note, raise the bar
Nobody's watching, I don't care
I'm a superstar in here

Foam crown on my head tonight
Bubbles floating in the light
Slide across the bath mat floor
Give the people one more more

The towel's my cape, the steam's my smoke
The whole wide world is mine to woo

I'm a shower stage superstar
Singing loud, no matter who we are
Hot water spotlight on my face
Bathroom echo, perfect place
Oh, shower stage superstar
Hit the high note, raise the bar
Nobody's watching, I don't care
I'm a superstar in here

Knock knock, who's that at the door
Is it time to end the show
Just one chorus, then I'm done
Wait, I've got a verse to run

Mirror's fogged, I sign my name
Fingertip on the window pane
Step out brave in a fluffy gown
Take a bow, the crowd calms down

I'm a shower stage superstar
Singing loud, no matter who we are
Hot water spotlight on my face
Bathroom echo, perfect place
Oh, shower stage superstar
Hit the high note, raise the bar
Nobody's watching, I don't care
I'm a superstar in here

Thank you, thank you, goodnight, good morning
Shower stage superstar
