There once was this band I’m telling you those boys could rock Slim played his guitar like an astronaut But behind the backstage door Somebody turned green for sure Outshined by the star people loved and adored They started in the garage practicing They thought they’d always be the best of friends A little too much of the light on Slim And he’s lonely at the top The band hit the stage But the crowd only called for Slim He was the man of the times He meant everything When the crowd called for more The band did a worldwide tour And he was running the show Just like an ego-whore They started in the garage practicing They thought they’d always be the best of friends A little too much of the light on Slim A little too much light for any man Then he started trying to run the show SongtexteThe band left, they couldn’t take no more Now that fool's singing solo He’s feeling so low He thought he had everything But it was all just a dream Cause when you’re alone no one sings harmony And then the bottom just dropped When the music just stopped This may come as a shock But it’s lonely at the top In the end of an age and a star turned stardust Lined with ashes of dreams and bloody music sheets And the fame killed our friend We tried again but the chance was slim Victim of the music industries' beast within They started in the garage practicing They thought they’d always be the best of friends A little too much of the light on Slim Too much light for any man Then he started trying to run the show We had to leave, we couldn’t take no more Now that fool is just singing solo, alone Lonely at the top Aus Songtexte Mania
