[Verse 1]
The world's edge
Sharply angled, a troubled outsider (Uh, huh)
The walk, the style
Through the earphones the music of my playlist is all minor

[Pre-Chorus]
You have no idea above your lowered head
What the bright lights are (Shining towards)
It's fine to take your time but I hope you notice, at last
The one and only
You're my celebrity

You're a star painted with a left hand
Can't you see how beautiful
A true uniqueness can be?
You're my celebrity

[Post-Chorus]
(I know you are, are)
(I know you are, are)
(I know you are, you are, are)
Celebrity
