[00:12.15] My mama told me when I was hatched
[00:15.66] Act like a superstar
[00:19.73] Save your allowance, buy a bubble dress
[00:23.31] And someday you will go far
[00:27.28] Now on red carpets, well, I'm hard to miss
[00:30.54] The press follows everywhere I go
[00:35.06] I'll poke your eye out with a dress like this
[00:38.54] Back off and enjoy the show
[00:41.87] I'm sure my critics will say it's a
[00:44.38] grotesque display
[00:45.78] Well, they can bite me,
[00:47.69] baby,I perform this way
[00:49.46] I might be wearin' Swiss cheese or
[00:51.22] maybe covered with bees
[00:53.52] It doesn't mean I'm crazy,
[00:55.68] I perform this way, form this way
[00:57.20] Ooo, my little monsters pay,
[00:59.56] lots 'cause I perform this way
[01:01.46] Baby, I perform this way, form this way
[01:05.34] Ooo, don't worry, I'm okay, hey,
[01:07.31] I just perform this way
[01:09.51] I'm not crazy, I perform this way
[01:12.98] I'll be a troll or evil queen
[01:14.89] I'll be a human jelly bean
[01:16.77] 'Cause every day is Halloween
[01:18.83] For me
[01:20.97] I'm so completely original
[01:24.54] My new look is all the rage
[01:28.61] I'll wrap my small intestines 'round my neck
[01:31.68] And set fire to myself on stage
[01:36.30] I'll wear a porcupine on my head
[01:39.38] On a W-H-I-M
[01:44.46] And for no reason now I'll sing in French
[01:47.86] Excusez-moi, qui a pt?
[01:51.23] Got my straight jacket today,
[01:53.04] it's made of gold lam
[01:54.96] No, not because I'm crazy,
[01:57.32] I perform this way
[01:58.72] I strap my rib to my feet, cover
[02:00.83] myself with raw meat
[02:02.43] I'll bet you've never seen
[02:04.44] a skirt steak worn this way
[02:06.91] Don't be offended when you see
[02:08.76] My latest pop monstrosity
[02:10.78] I'm strange, weird, shocking, odd, bizarre
[02:12.73] I'm Frankenstein, I'm Avatar
[02:14.60] There's nothing too embarrassing
[02:16.47] I'll honestly do anything
[02:18.33] But wear white after Labor Day
[02:20.28] 'Cause baby, I perform this way
[02:22.24] Hope you won't think it's clich
[02:23.50] if I go nude today
[02:25.46] Don't call the cops now, baby,
[02:27.42] I perform this way
[02:29.29] No reason I should regret
[02:31.05] all the attention I get
[02:32.96] I'm not completely crazy,
[02:35.13] I perform this way, yeah
[02:37.43] I perform this way, hey,
[02:39.19] I perform this way, hey
[02:40.95] I'm always deviating from
[02:43.21] the norm this way, hey
[02:45.02] I perform this way, hey,
[02:46.83] I perform this way, hey
[02:48.49] I'm really not insane,
[02:50.45] I just perform this way, hey
