In a trance in France I learned to dance In a trance in France I learned to dance And got me a piece of tail They put my body in a hotel lobby And my soul in a neon jail Big deal You're gonna be a big, big deal Trained seals are always a real big deal They put me in a cage and they put me on stage And they told me I could never go home The government paid for a place in the shade And then my mouth began to foam Big deal Nobody cares how you feel Big deal You're gonna be a big big deal All your little actions Are just tourist attractions And the kids are gonna gobble you up They're gonna stand in a crowd They will yell very loud And they've think they've fallen Fallen in love I'm totally certain a big red curtain's Gonna rise at Carnegie Hall And everybody that I hate is Gonna find out too late that I've become A big deal You're gonna be a big, big deal Trained seals are always a real big deal Big deal You're gonna be a big, big deal Trained seals are always a real big deal A bloody mess, and I'm still bleeding But I am alive, my heart is beating A bloody mess, and I'm still bleeding But I am alive, my heart is beating
