What's the point of fame if it's been abused?
What's a kid like me even got to lose?
Here I am on your bed again-- its too big for the room it's in
Wash your face and mouth just a little bit
Everybody knows that you're good at it
Nothing hurts like an answer phone, drinking some, waking up alone
Maybe if I try just a little more, I can take myself from this dirty floor
Walk through buildings of elegance, just like you are intelligent
But still I fall from grace with this microphone
How'd you find yourself if you never roam?
Certainly I'm indebted baby, certainly, certainly

I know my place, but it don't know me
I know my place, but it don't know me

No one wants to hear that you're breaking up
It wasn't long ago we said start me up
Now all your dreamin' will have to wait, what you deserve you'll anticipate
Play your 45 with this late at night, open all the windows, turn out the light
Mysterious creatures will fill the room, a midnight show just put on for you
But still I fall from grace with this microphone
How'd you find yourself if you never roam?
Certainly I'm indebted baby, certainly, certainly

I know my place, but it don't know me
I know my place, but it don't know me

Cold fame in my brain, but it's okay cause I know it's the best for me
