Overnight Sensation Lyrics by Imperial Drag

Imperial Drag

1996

[Verse 1]
I am one of maybe three
And I don't feel so bad I'd say
A second stops to look at me
Tips his hat and says, "good day"
[Chorus]
Then it's down and familiar, up and in flames
A light comes on and it entertains
Makes you feel you could be
An overnight sensation
Your mood takes a swing at the ones you oppose
But the ones you love get a double dose
Swing away, swing away, swing away
[Verse 2]
One is jealous, two went out
Why I've told you is of doubt
If you don't like what I may say
Please be kind and look away
[Chorus]
Then it's up and familiar, down and in flames
A light comes on and it entertains
Makes you feel you could be
An overnight sensation
Your mood takes a swing at the ones you oppose
But the ones you love get a double dose
Swing away, swing away, swing away
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Then it's down and familiar, up and in flames
A light comes on and it entertains
Makes you feel it could be
An overnight sensation
You've found an idea, and it's lodged in your brain
A splinter of truth about the mess you've made
Swing away, swing away, swing away
Swing away, swing away, swing away, swing away
Swing away
Swing away (away)
