Hey, you! You out there!
How d'you see me when you stare?
How did I get here, where does it all go?
I swear to God that I just don't know
Sunlight sinking slowly into night
Cardboard cities, don't know where I sleep tonight
Broken sidewalks, street lights in disrepair
It didn't have to be like this, another life was lost somewhere
50,000 voices rising every time he'd sing
And every word he ever wrote reflected back to him
Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays
Rock stars don't ever die, they only fade away
Searchlights sweeping, 50,000 souls we'd face
Never ever sleeping, a serious drug you can't replace
Falling angels spiralling the sky at night
A star falls in the darkness but our eyes are blinded in the light
50,000 hands are raised to a man that's just like you and me
We create the gods we can and gift them immortality
Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays
Rock stars don't ever die, they only fade away
Hey, you! You out there!
How d'you see me when you stare?
How did I get here, where does it all go?
I swear to God that I just don't know
50,000 voices rising (hey you, you out there)
Every time he'd sing (how d'you see me when you stare?)
And every word he ever wrote (how did I get here, where does it all go?)
Reflected back to him (I swear to God that I just don't know)
