Lana / Twigs / Bieber / Gaga / Spears say it best:

 

EVERY NIGHT I USED TO PRAY THAT I’D FIND MY PEOPLE, AND FINALLY I DID ON THE OPEN ROAD.
WE HAD NOTHING TO LOSE, NOTHING TO GAIN, NOTHING WE DESIRED ANYMORE, EXCEPT TO MAKE OUR LIVES INTO A WORK OF ART.

 

DIDN’T I DO IT FOR YOU?
WHY DON’T I DO IT FOR YOU?
WHY WON’T YOU DO IT FOR ME
WHEN ALL I DO IS FOR YOU?

 

EVERY TIME I TRY TO FLY I FALL
WITHOUT MY WINGS
I FEEL SO SMALL

 

I’M YOUR BIGGEST FAN
I’LL FOLLOW YOU UNTIL YOU LOVE ME
PAPA-PAPARAZZI

 

 LIVE FAST. DIE YOUNG. BE WILD AND HAVE FUN.
I BELIEVE IN THE PERSON I WANT TO BECOME.

 

SOMETIMES IT’S HARD TO DO THE RIGHT THING
WHEN THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW THAT I’M HURTIN’
DON’T FORGET THAT I’M HUMAN, DON’T FORGET THAT I’M REAL
ACT LIKE YOU KNOW ME, BUT YOU NEVER WILL
I’LL SHOW YOU. I’LL SHOW YOU. I’LL SHOW YOU. I’LL SHOW YOU. 

 

BUT I WON’T STOP UNTIL THAT BOY IS MINE
BABY, YOU’LL BE FAMOUS
CHASE YOU DOWN UNTIL YOU LOVE ME
PAPA-PAPARAZZI
PAPARAZZI

 

EVERY TIME I SEE
YOU IN MY DREAMS
I SEE YOUR FACE
IT’S HAUNTING ME

 

ARE YOU IN TOUCH WITH ALL OF YOUR DARKEST FANTASIES?
HAVE YOU CREATED A LIFE FOR YOURSELF WHERE YOU CAN EXPERIENCE THEM?
I HAVE, I AM FUCKING CRAZY, BUT I AM FREE
