[00:34.456]Another obituary in the paper today,
[00:38.521]One more for the list of those who've already fallen.
[00:43.592]Another one of our comrades is taken down,
[00:47.291]Like so many others of our calling.
[00:51.706]We tweet our anecdotes, our commentary,
[00:56.604]Or we sing his songs in some sad tribute,
[01:00.469]While the tabloids are holding a story of kiss and tell,
[01:05.693]That he's no longer able to deny or refute.
[01:08.193]50,000 voices rising every time he'd sing,
[01:17.381]And every word he ever wrote reflecting back to him.
[01:25.402]How well I remember the stadiums we played,
[01:30.506]And the lights sweeping across a sea of 50,000 souls we'd face.
[01:34.856]A serious drug that you could never kick,
[01:38.296]Or one that you couldn't imagine you'd ever replace.
[01:43.798]We flew like kites on the wings of amphetamine,
[01:47.693]Secured only to a bass line and a snare drum beat.
[01:52.609]But really what did any of it mean?
[01:55.851]When there's a higher philosophy in reflection and defeat.
[01:59.990]50,000 voices rising every time he'd sing,
[02:08.593]And every word he ever wrote reflecting back to him.
[02:16.381]Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays,
[02:25.482]Rock Stars don't ever die, they only fade away.
[02:50.592]Reflecting now on my own past,
[02:55.467]Inside this prison I've made of myself.
[03:00.592]I'm feeling a little better today,
[03:03.597]Although the bathroom mirror is telling me something else.
[03:08.697]These lines of stress, one bloodshot eye,
[03:12.386]The unhealthy pallor of a troubled ghost.
[03:17.490]Where did I put my spectacle case?
[03:21.391]I'm half blind and as deaf as any post.
[03:24.001]50,000 hands are raised to a man that's just like you and me.
[03:33.503]We create the gods we can and gift them immortality.
[03:41.498]Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays,
[03:49.296]Rock Stars don't ever die, they only fade away.
