Letras
Just a lonely musician in a world he'd come to know
A world of plastic meaning and an endless one-night show
Where everything that he'd dreamed of had finally come to pass
But the smile upon his face just wasn't built 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 feeling that it's all gone wrong
And I just ask myself how long
Well, I can keep on hanging on
When all that's left is just this song
Well, his mind turns back to a girl
He knows in his not-too-distant past
To a love who knows that could've been but wasn't built to last
A world that's built on images and nothing's ever meant
And there's not much left of truth in
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 feeling that it's all gone wrong
And I just ask myself how long
Well, 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
Your bitter sweet success has left you feeling numb
They paid you with a thousand tears but the dream's 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, he forces back a tear
And he sings a song of a love he'd known 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 feeling that it's all gone wrong
And I just ask myself how long
Well, I can keep on hanging on
When all that's left is just this song
