[Verse 1]

This is the story that time forgot

And though some names have changed, some names, some names have not

Tune in every night at six o'clock

You can open up a magic box

And see me there

Ready or not, here I come

I'm free, yeah

[Verse 2]

I've got so many names, let "Lucifer Longtail" suffice

So many faces, so many devices

In the sweet smile of the talk show host

To the suicide celebrity ghost

There, that's me, yeah

The ace in the hole of America's soul

[Chorus]

Adore, adore, bow down before

Bow down before, adore, adore

A star is born, you start to fall

Down on your knees and adore me

[Verse 3]

And now we already know the news is bought and sold

By the man with the plan and the corporate gold

And we already know that the story can change

At the roll of the dice, reality rearranges

That's me, yeah

I'm everywhere you did not think I could be, so

[Chorus]

Adore, adore, bow down before

Bow down before, adore, adore

A star is born, you start to fall

Down on your knees and adore me

[Bridge]

Well, I'll be there in the secrets that you're dreaming

And I'll be there when you wake up in the morning

And I'll be there when you get home in the evening

'Til the daze of your life is done

[Verse 4]

This is the song that the caged bird sings

Curled up like a cat at the corner of everything

But don't feel bad, even if you could

'Cause if you did not do it, someone else just would

It's easy, believe me

I'll show you such wonderful things

I'll show you such wonderful things 'til you're just like me

[Chorus]

Adore, adore, bow down before

Bow down before, adore, adore

A star is born, you start to fall

Down on your knees and adore me

Adore, adore, bow down before

Bow down before, adore, adore

A star is born, you start to fall

Down on your knees and adore me

[Refrain]

Adore, adore, bow down before

Adore, adore, bow down before

Adore, adore, bow down before

Adore, adore, bow down before
