Another obituary in the paper todayOne more for the list of thoseWho've already fallenAnother one of our comrades is taken downLike so many others of our callingWe tweet our anecdotes, our commentaryOr we sing his songs in some sad tributeWhile the tabloids are holdingA story of kiss and tellThat he's no longer able to deny or refute50, 000 Voices rising every time he'd singAnd every word he everWrote reflecting back to himHow well I remember the stadiums we playedAnd the lights sweeping across a seaOf 50, 000 souls we'd faceA serious drug that you could never kickOr one that you couldn't imagineYou'd ever replaceWe flew like kites on the wings of amphetamineSecured only to a bass lineAnd a snare drum beatBut really what did any of it mean?When there's a higher philosophyIn reflection and defeat50, 000 Voices rising every time he'd singAnd every word he ever wroteReflecting back to himStill believing that old lieThe one that your own face betraysRock stars don't ever die, they only fade awayReflecting now on my own pastInside this prison I've made of myselfI'm feeling a little better todayAlthough the bathroom mirrorIs telling me something elseThese lines of stress, one bloodshot eyeThe unhealthy pallor of a troubled ghostWhere did I put my spectacle case?I'm half blind and as deaf as any post50, 000 Hands are raised to a manThat's just like you and meWe create the gods we canAnd gift them immortalityStill believing that old lieThe one that your own face betraysRock stars don't ever dieThey only fade away
