I'll
know when the end has come
I hope I'll know when to surrender
For they say the spotlight can be harsh
When your years need something tender
How will I recover from the end
Will it come with a thud
Will it be a painless transition
Dipped in honey or drenched in blood
I hope I'll have no confusions
About those bruising illusions
I created me
From dreams and fantasies
I created me
I created me
I created me
A little irony
Cause I hated me
So I created me
Well, you still love me
without my make -up
When the darkness falls
An d there's no more ovations,
no more curtain calls
Will you still love me without my make -up,
or when the light turns cruel?
Will you see me as a fallen hero,
or simply as a fool?
I created me from dreams and fantasies
I created me, I created me, I created me
A little irony, cause I hated me
I created me
So where has all the glamour gone
And where are all the stars
Where are all the dreams I had
The ones I had when
we were young
Where has all the glamour gone
Now everything's painfully the same
Don't think I'll ever get
a chance to taste it
All over again
I created me from dreams
and fantasies
Scarred with a shady past
and grudges built to
Last threw in a little fate
left it to marinate with bitterness
and vile infested for a while
I created me, I created me, I created me
I created me, I created me, I created me
So you stand there
taking all the credit
Saying you gave me every line
before I'd even said it
Yes it's true you helped
a little with the shaping
Stuck the knife in when I was aching
Just a little pain, with every hurtful name
It's true you built the base,
but I gave the pain a face
I created me,
from words that always hurt
The ones that cut you deep
like bender and pervert
Weirdo, sicko, freak, queer and faggot too
Yes, it's true, dears,
I'm indebted so to you
But just remember that the
end's not always fi nal
Cos I'll live forever on CD and vinyl
So go now, for God's sake,
let me be
Cause I created me.
Thank you and good night everybody.
I created me, I created me,
I created me,
I created me
I'm creative man
You
