A world awaits an icon to make a connection
|
A mother complex begs stellar direction
|
He's taking the chair
|
He's living the life
|
He's fucking pretty girls every night
|
But he ain't fucking the wife
|
|
And he's doing the things we'll never do and he's genuine
|
Judging by the size of his crew
|
With a face the eye can easily digest
|
He's down with the big boys and up there with the big best
|
A Lennon, A Presley, a Muhammad Ali they give us there life
|
Literally it's got to be all or nothing, death or glory
|
'Cos the history books could always use a new story
|
|
Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon
|
The negative cycle is waiting for the next one
|
Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon
|
This is not open for negotiation
|
|
He's living fast, he's dying slow and nobody knows
|
That the audience approval is the only approval
|
He's known to be real "at least as real as a rock N' roll show"
|
Then alone again is the man, but he can't stand being alone
|
Fighting the fear that is the fade of the glow and the length of the time we
|
expect him to give
|
'Cos someone's got to live like we all want to live and we all want to see
|
But don't want to be
|
"Cos someone's gonna die and it ain't gonna be me"
|

|
The negative cycle is waiting for the next one
|
Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon
|
This is not open for negotiation
|
|
And at times when he's fighting the hate that he feels for the loneliness
|
Feels for the home that he makes and takes straight to a different place
|
Where a new set of faces appear to relate but he can't help equate the
|
relationship
|
To the time he swore his love to a whore
|
Another name on the door, another 1:2:3:4
|
But the same old crown standing there on the floor
|
|
Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon
|
The negative cycle is waiting for the next one
|
Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon
|
This is not open for negotiation
|
Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon
|
The negative cycle is waiting for a live one
|
Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon
|
And when you're done pass it over to the next one
|
"And will the last one out please leave the light on?"
