Fifteen minutes later
|
You don't seem so famous
|
The arms that raised you overhead
|
Take you to the grave instead
|
With your wedding ring and your trampoline
|
Tried to touch the sky
|
But you couldn't get that high
|
With your silly songs
|
Everybody sings along
|
But don't know what the fuck you're saying
|
|
Five miles into stardom
|
You begin to see
|
It's really not that hard
|
Voices chant praising you
|
Where are you without your tune
|
|
With your broken glass
|
Another passing fad
|
Wanted to see how far
|
You could fool them
|
With the wrong intentions
|
But the best of friends
|
You could've been king
|
If you'd gotten out of bed
|
|
And you try to be patient
|
Why did you fake it
|
|
Could be this is nothing
|
Could be you've got no pot to piss in
|
Without a voice, without a sound
|
See you when you're coming down
|
|
With swollen glands
|
Another passing fad
|
Wanted to see how far
|
The envelope would open
|
With your vasoline
|
Everybody sings
|
Goodbye the savior
|
goodbye the king
|
|
Hope you're happy in the new world
|
Is the pain gone?
|
In the new world
|
Was is better to burn out
|
Now that you've faded away?
|
Why did you, why would you fade away?
|
I wish you, I wish you would've tried
|
|
Try to be patient
|
Why did you fake it
|
Try to be patient
|
Why did you fake it
|
Won't you, won't you try
|
Try
|
