[Verse 1]
This is the story that time forgot
And though some names have changed, some names, some names have not
Tune in every night at six o'clock
You can open up a magic box
And see me there
Ready or not, here I come
I'm free, yeah

[Verse 2]
I've got so many names, let "Lucifer Longtail" suffice
So many faces, so many devices
In the sweet smile of the talk show host
To the suicide celebrity ghost
There, that's me, yeah
The ace in the hole of America's soul

[Chorus]
Adore, adore, bow down before
Bow down before, adore, adore
A star is born, you start to fall
Down on your knees and adore me

[Verse 3]
And now we already know the news is bought and sold
By the man with the plan and the corporate gold
And we already know that the story can change
At the roll of the dice, reality rearranges
That's me, yeah
I'm everywhere you did not think I could be, so
[Chorus]
Adore, adore, bow down before
Bow down before, adore, adore
A star is born, you start to fall
Down on your knees and adore me

[Bridge]
Well, I'll be there in the secrets that you're dreaming
And I'll be there when you wake up in the morning
And I'll be there when you get home in the evening
'Til the daze of your life is done

[Verse 4]
This is the song that the caged bird sings
Curled up like a cat at the corner of everything
But don't feel bad, even if you could
'Cause if you did not do it, someone else just would
It's easy, believe me
I'll show you such wonderful things
I'll show you such wonderful things 'til you're just like me

[Chorus]
Adore, adore, bow down before
Bow down before, adore, adore
A star is born, you start to fall
Down on your knees and adore me
Adore, adore, bow down before
Bow down before, adore, adore
A star is born, you start to fall
Down on your knees and adore me
[Refrain]
Adore, adore, bow down before
Adore, adore, bow down before
Adore, adore, bow down before
Adore, adore, bow down before
