I was never one for saying what I really feel |
|
Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real |
|
Stars they come and go |
|
They come fast |
|
They come slow |
|
They go like the last light of the sun |
|
All in a blaze |
|
And all you see is glory |
|
Hey, but it gets lonely here |
|
When there's no one here to share |
|
You can shake it all away if you will hear my story |
|
Some people ask for fame like athlete's in a game |
|
We break our collarbones and come up swinging |
|
Some of us are downed some of us a crowned |
|
And some are lost and never found but most have seen it all |
|
They live there lives in sad cafe's and music halls |
|
They always come up singing |
|
Some make it when they're young before the world has done its dirty job |
|
Later on someone will say you've had your day, |
|
And now you must make way |
|
But they will never know the pain of living |
|
With a name you'd never own |
|
Or the many years forgetting |
|
What you know too well |
|
That the ones who get the crown |
|
Have been let down |
|
Yet try to make amends |
|
Without defending |
|
Perhaps pretending |
|
You never saw the eyes |
|
Of grown men of twenty-five |
|
That follow as you walk |
|
And ask for autographs |
|
Or kiss you on the cheek |
|
But you never can believe |
|
They really love you |
|
Some make it when they're old |
|
Perhaps they have a soul |
|
They're not afraid to bear |
|
Or perhaps there's nothing there |
|
Stars they come and go |
|
They come fast |
|
They come slow |
|
They go like the last light of the sun |
|
All in a blaze |
|
And all you see is glory |
|
But most have seen it all |
|
They live there lives |
|
In sad cafe's and music halls |
|
They always come up singing |
|
Singing |
|
Singing |
|
Singing |
