| [00:21.63] |
Could be wrong but I think |
| [00:23.39] |
When you take center stage not a single eye blinks |
| [00:26.07] |
Some forced to squint |
| [00:27.28] |
In an awkward attempt |
| [00:28.50] |
To somehow filter your glow |
| [00:30.26] |
But you know... |
| [00:31.02] |
That the polish of your armor got'em in a trance |
| [00:33.78] |
Colors intertwine with the power of a dance |
| [00:36.35] |
Poetry in motion got'em in a stand still |
| [00:39.11] |
Eyes glaze over, jaws drop like anvils |
| [00:41.58] |
A feeling you're wishing that even time can't kill |
| [00:44.31] |
Sorry to inform you but it can and will |
| [00:46.97] |
So make the most of it |
| [00:48.07] |
And folks love it |
| [00:48.94] |
Is it the bare essentials |
| [00:50.40] |
Or the bells and whistles |
| [00:51.60] |
Can't tell initially but what remains |
| [00:54.27] |
When a fella's history is it the name |
| [00:57.02] |
That fades like memories |
| [00:58.41] |
Time will tell |
| [00:59.62] |
You know that the divine's design prevails |
| [01:01.45] |
When the luster fades |
| [01:02.85] |
Will you be a legend or a distant memory |
| [01:05.53] |
Praised by your brethren or a waste of energy |
| [01:08.04] |
When they reminisce over you |
| [01:09.66] |
Will they front or give you your dues |
| [01:11.56] |
When the luster fades |
| [01:13.13] |
Will you make your mark or be written out of history |
| [01:15.78] |
Stimulate thought or become a nonentity |
| [01:18.39] |
When they reminisce over you |
| [01:19.91] |
Will they front or give you your dues |
| [01:21.94] |
When the luster fades |
| [01:22.53] |
We're running out of time and it's funny I guess |
| [01:25.08] |
'Cause we strive to make something that it is truly timeless |
| [01:27.89] |
That'll never tarnish |
| [01:29.10] |
And maintain it's beauty |
| [01:30.51] |
But is that the nature of time? |
| [01:32.42] |
They say that we got 15 minutes to shine |
| [01:34.75] |
But it's all relative |
| [01:36.18] |
'Cause 15 minutes can feel like forever if |
| [01:38.81] |
We don't believe that time flies |
| [01:40.83] |
But you that most are blind to The Inner Minds Eye |
| [01:43.95] |
Where people come and go with a blink |
| [01:45.87] |
And celebrate your memory and toast with a drink |
| [01:48.59] |
Making your exit as their next thought enters |
| [01:51.01] |
You've made your deposit in their memory bank |
| [01:53.54] |
Hoping one day eventually to gain interest |
| [01:56.35] |
Instead of drawing blanks whenever your name's mentioned |
| [01:59.03] |
Hot today tomorrow you're cold & lonely |
| [02:01.30] |
Tell me where will these songs be... |
| [02:03.08] |
When the luster fades |
| [02:04.24] |
Will you be a legend or a distant memory |
| [02:07.45] |
Praised by your brethren or a waste of energy |
| [02:09.96] |
When they reminisce over you |
| [02:11.57] |
Will they front or give you your dues |
| [02:13.50] |
When the luster fades |
| [02:15.06] |
Will you make your mark or be written out of history |
| [02:17.62] |
Stimulate thought or become a nonentity |
| [02:20.20] |
When they reminisce over you |
| [02:21.90] |
Will they front or give you your dues |
| [02:23.86] |
When the luster fades |
| [02:25.34] |
Where will you go (go) |
| [02:26.54] |
Will you be long forgotten by the people you know (know) |
| [02:28.97] |
When you've lost your glow (glow) |
| [02:30.44] |
No one at the show (show) |
| [02:31.59] |
And your record stop spinning and you're feeling real low (low) |
| [02:34.17] |
When the luster fades |
| [02:35.71] |
Where will you go (go) |
| [02:36.81] |
Will you be long forgotten by the people you know (know) |
| [02:39.29] |
When you've lost your glow (glow) |
| [02:40.59] |
No one at the show (show) |
| [02:41.91] |
And your record stop spinning and you're feeling real low (low) |
| [02:44.47] |
When the luster fades |
| [02:46.10] |
Where will the entourage go? |
| [02:47.72] |
What will you do if eternal bonds are not so? |
| [02:50.18] |
How many women stayed when the money got low? |
| [02:52.65] |
When the fans seen it all, will they scream bravo |
| [02:55.42] |
Or have a moment of silence, minus the reflection |
| [02:58.29] |
Will your records be a valued part of their collection |
| [03:00.76] |
In a frame on the wall or end up in a dollar bin |
| [03:03.44] |
Will you be forgotten or honored... |
| [03:05.23] |
When the luster fades |
| [03:06.79] |
Will you be a legend or a distant memory |
| [03:09.30] |
Praised by your brethren or a waste of energy |
| [03:11.83] |
When they reminisce over you |
| [03:13.50] |
Will they front or give you your dues |
| [03:15.42] |
When the luster fades |
| [03:16.98] |
Will you make your mark or be written out of history |
| [03:19.55] |
Stimulate thought or become a nonentity |
| [03:22.13] |
When they reminisce over you |
| [03:23.74] |
Will they front or give you your dues |
| [03:25.75] |
When the luster fades |
| [03:27.36] |
Will you be a legend or a distant memory |
| [03:29.78] |
Praised by your brethren or a waste of energy |
| [03:32.60] |
When they reminisce over you |
| [03:34.22] |
Will they front or give you your dues |
| [03:36.08] |
When the luster fades |
| [03:37.72] |
Will you make your mark or be written out of history |
| [03:40.27] |
Stimulate thought or become a nonentity |
| [03:42.84] |
When they reminisce over you |
| [03:44.35] |
Will they front or give you your dues |
| [03:46.23] |
When the luster fades |
