Eb5           F5 
You live in a world of excess 
Eb5 
where more is more 
    F5  
and less is much less 
Eb5           F5 
A day without fame 
 
is a waste 
      Eb5 
and a question of need 
       F5 
is a question of taste 
          Eb5 
You're so flamboyant 
D5           G5 
the way you look 
            Bb5 
It gets you so much attention 
          Eb5 
Your sole employment 
D5         G5 
is getting more 
          Bb5  
You want police intervention 
          Eb5 
You're so flamboyant 
D5          G5 
the way you live 
            Bb5 
You really care that they stare 
              Eb5 
And the press deployment 
D5        G5 
is always there 
              Bb5 
It's what you do for enjoyment 
 
You live in a time of decay 

when the worth of a man 

is how much he can play 

Every day 

all the public must know 

where you are, what you do 

'cause your life is a show and 
 
You're so flamboyant 

the way you live 

and it's not even demeaning 

You're so flamboyant 

It's like a drug 

you use to give your life meaning 

You're so flamboyant 

The way you look 

It gets you so much attention 

Your sole employment 

Is getting more 

You want police intervention

Every actor needs 
   Eb5  D5    
an audi-ence 
Eb5 
Every action is 
  Eb5    F5 
a perfor-mance 
Eb5          F5 
It all takes courage 
F5        Eb5 
You know it 
 F5   Eb5          F5 
Just crossing the street 
Eb5        F5      Eb5 
well, it's almost heroic 
          Eb5 
You're so flamboyant 
 
There you are 
at another preview 
In a pose 
the artist and you 
To look so loud 
may be considered tacky 
Collectors wear black clothes 
by Issey Miyake 
 
You're so flamboyant
