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
