lyrics

CEILING LIGHT © 2004 Acoustic Ross

Don’t want to be famous, no publicity
Don’t want to be Superman, just wanna be me
Don’t want any trophies or carpets of red
Don’t want 15 minutes of sun overhead
Don’t want fancy clothing, lifestyles of the rich
Don’t want to make a big dent, just a little niche
Don’t want lots of money or a people’s award
Just making you happy is my only reward

Don’t want to be a spotlight or a favorite Sun
Don’t wanna be star bright, I just wanna have fun
Wish that I maybe, I wish that I might
Just wanna be a small fluorescent ceiling light

Don’t want the attention of the big interview
Don’t want to be anywhere if I’m not with you
Don’t want my name in lights, just simplicity
Don’t want to be nothing if I can’t be me
Don’t want a big seller or a million a week
Don’t need the attention that some people seek
Don’t want to be featured in a fan magazine
Don’t want to dress up if it’s not Halloween

Don’t want to be a spotlight or a favorite Sun
Don’t wanna be star bright, I just wanna have fun
Wish that I maybe, I wish that I might
Just wanna be a small fluorescent ceiling light
