There's no use hidin'
I'm comin' after you
You know i have decided
Now what you gonna do?

I hear the police knocking and
I know just why they came
I see the full moon risin'
Now i guess you know my name

Stand in line with a hundred dollar bill
Like a runaway train 'till i've had my fill

Are you ready for the big time
Big time comin' up

Now the sun is shinin' but
I'm standin' on shaky ground
We'll be slippin' and slidin' and
You know where we can be found

Spend the day in bed drinkin' your champagne
I've got you in my head
Now ain't that a doggone shame

See you on the mtv
Now you paid the price
Are you talkin' to me?

Are you ready for the big time
I've got my mind made up
Are you ready for the big time
Big time comin' up

I can hear the backbeat grindin' down your spine
I can feel your body heat now, baby
It's your time

You know the way you move
You keep me up all night
You got something to prove
I see your name in lights

Stand in line with a hundred dollar bill
Like a runaway train 'till i've had my fill

Are you ready for the big time
Big time comin' up

Are you ready for the big time
I've got my mind made up
Are you ready for the big time
Big time comin' up
