Headlines (3:18)

(Alice Cooper, Davey Johnstone, Fred Mandel)

Do a show, save a child
Raise a million bucks that'll last a while
Fight at parties, buy a horse
Lose a couple, win that big divorce ⁽¹⁾

I wanna be in the headlines
Anything to be in the headlines

Saw my chance, made my break
I took the biggest float in the Rose Parade ⁽²⁾
Got jailed, no disgrace
A hundred million people saw my face

Called a conference with the press
Announced my marriage plans in a wedding dress
Climb a building at six-below
On New Year's Eve without a stitch of clothes

I wanna be in the headlines
Anything to be in the headlines
As long as they spell my name right ⁽³⁾
I hope that they catch my best side

Popped out from a cake
At the President's ball. What a big mistake
Fifty guns aimed at me
I was nearly killed but what publicity
Nominated. Something big
Stole the hottest scene says the Globe and Trib ⁽⁴⁾
Dirty movie comes to light
But I was starving then so that's alright

I wanna be in the headlines
Anything to be in the headlines

As long as the spell my name right
Oh I hope that they catch my best side
Keep my sidewalk status star bright ⁽⁵⁾
Feel free to walk on me tonight
Just don't spit on me.
