Lyrics for singles by Stealers Wheel

Star

So they've made you a star
Now your head's in a cloud
And you're walkin' down the street
With your feet are off the ground

They read in the press
All about your success
They believe every word they've been told
After all you've been through
Tell me what will you do
When you find yourself out in the cold

Ah, tell me Ah, tell me

When you appear on the stage
There's a standing ovation
You really live out your performance
You're the biggest sensation

You breeze through the door
And when you take the floor
You expect to have it all to yourself
After all you've been through
Tell me what will you do
When you find yourself back on the shelf
Ah, tell me Ah, tell me

Stuck in the Middle with You

Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place

[chorus]

Well you started out with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends, they all come crawlin
Slap you on the back and say "Please"
"Please . . ."

Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see that it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore

[chorus]
