Big Deal - Ezra Furman, The Harpoons

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
