The Musician - Dark Star

A word of plastic meanings and an endless one night show.

Where everything that he dreamed of had finally come to pass,

But the smile upon his face, just wasn’t meant to last.

And they said that all the bad times were gone,

They said we’d be on easy street from now on,

But I’ve got the feelin' that its all gone wrong,

And I ask myself how long?

I can keep on hanging on.

When all that’s left is just this song.

His mind turns back to a girl he’d known in the not to

distant past,

To a love who’d known, that could have been, but wasn’t built

to last.

A world thats built an images, and nothings ever meant,

And theres not much left of truth and love, when they’ve taken

their percent.

And they said that all the bad times were gone,

They said we’d be on easy street from now on,

But I’ve got the feelin' that its all gone wrong,

And I ask myself how long?

I can keep on hanging on.

When all that’s left is just this song.

They said you were a superstar, but look what you’ve become.

You’re bitter sweet success has left you feeling Numb.

They paid you with a thousand tears, and the dreams long gone.

And all that you have left is just this song.

Well he’s on the road day after day,

The radio his records play,

But the loneliness is here to stay,

And so he takes the stage again, and forces back a tear,

And he sings a song of a love he’d knows, that the audience

won’t hear.

And they said that all the bad times were gone,

They said we’d be on easy street from now on,

But I’ve got the feelin' that its all gone wrong,

And I ask myself how long?

I can keep on hanging on.

When all that’s left is just this song.
