[intro]
F D F D E
[Verse 1]
With a vAmenom in my Cveins
And no mDoney to my Fname
I'm on my Amway to join a Ccircus that they Dcall Hell-EA
To be a Fstar of stage and Cscreen
I sold my Dsoul for magic Ambeans
Now I'm as Fempty as the Cpockets
Of my Dskin tight Ejeans.
[Chorus]
But my Fhunger makes me bend my back
Like a Dlicorice cane acrobat
There's a Fconstellation with my name
In the DHollywood boulevard of fame
In Los FAngeles they understand
I'm the DBuckled Knees of a Ebroken Amman.
[Verse 2]
So to the Amdevil I adChered
And with my Dsoul he disapFpeared
But I Amnever will forCget the words
He Dwhispered in my Eear
He said "FFame is a ball and Cchain
That you'll Dcarry to your Amgrave
A soul shaped Fhole in your Cheart
Is like a Dbullet to your Ebrain".
[Chorus]
But my Fhunger makes me bend my back
Like a Dlicorice cane acrobat
There's a Fconstellation with my name
In the DHollywood boulevard of fame
In Los FAngeles they understand
I'm the DBuckled Knees of a Ebroken Amman.
[Verse 3]
Well I Amthought my life was Cmade
A Hollywood Dsuperstar Fcliche
But I'm Amjust a hollow Ctrophy
With a Dthin gold Eplate
And all the Fstarlight that I Csought
Was just a Dspinning disco Amball
Now I'm as Ffractured as the Clight
Of its Dmirrors on the Ewall.
[Chorus]
But my Fhunger makes me bend my back
Like a Dlicorice cane acrobat
There's a Fconstellation with my name
In the DHollywood boulevard of fame
In Los FAngeles they understand
I'm the DBuckled Knees of a Ebroken Amman.

[intro]

F D F D E

[Verse 1]

Am C

With a venom in my veins

D F

And no money to my name

Am C D E

I'm on my way to join a circus that they call Hell-A

F C

To be a star of stage and screen

D Am

I sold my soul for magic beans

F C

Now I'm as empty as the pockets

D E

Of my skin tight jeans.

[Chorus]

But my hunger makes me bend my back

Like a licorice cane acrobat

There's a constellation with my name

In the Hollywood boulevard of fame

In Los Angeles they understand

D E Am

I'm the Buckled Knees of a broken man.

[Verse 2]

Am C

So to the devil I adhered

D F

And with my soul he disappeared

Am C

But I never will forget the words

D E

He whispered in my ear

F C

He said "Fame is a ball and chain

D Am

That you'll carry to your grave

F C

A soul shaped hole in your heart

D E

Is like a bullet to your brain".

[Chorus]

But my hunger makes me bend my back

Like a licorice cane acrobat

There's a constellation with my name

In the Hollywood boulevard of fame

In Los Angeles they understand

D E Am

I'm the Buckled Knees of a broken man.

[Verse 3]

Am C

Well I thought my life was made

D F

A Hollywood superstar cliche

Am C

But I'm just a hollow trophy

D E

With a thin gold plate

F C

And all the starlight that I sought

D Am

Was just a spinning disco ball

F C

Now I'm as fractured as the light

D E

Of its mirrors on the wall.

[Chorus]

But my hunger makes me bend my back

Like a licorice cane acrobat

There's a constellation with my name

In the Hollywood boulevard of fame

In Los Angeles they understand

D E Am

I'm the Buckled Knees of a broken man.
