Lyrics

I saw you there in the dark
A skinny kid from a trailor park
Not a cent to your name
No idea how to play the game
Or to deal with fame
Or whose to blame
When your life's shot down in flames

You started playin' some shows
You joined a band and you hit the road
All those nights in the car
On your way to another bar
With some loud guitars
No one knows who you are
On your way to becoming a star

Now you're a rock-n-roll star
A rock-n-roll, rock-n-roll star
You're a star
A rock-n-roll, rock-n-roll star

You're hangin' on by a thread
In a couple of months you will be dead
Your face is pallid and white
You take the stage and it's all so bright
But you feel alright
Night after night
Out there under the lights

Where you're a rock-n-roll star
A rock-n-roll, rock-n-roll star
You're a star
A rock-n-roll, rock-n-roll star
