The Kid |
| And the kid walks up to the stage |
| With his innocence shining |
| Eager to join the parade of the damned |
| Bearing his confidence lightly |
| Wearing his heart on his sleeve |
| Shares out his passion twice nightly |
| And he begs us to cast and believe |
| The kid’s quickly turning the page |
| While the juices are flowing |
| No assurance he gave worth a damn |
| Playing the room like a trouper |
| Maybe it’s gone to his head |
| Fame takes him up as a suitor… |
| The kid gladly climbs in her bed |
| Call it a Faustian deal |
| But the demons that chase him are real enough |
| The kid at the front of the stage gathers all the attention |
| Help that he hired has been paid off in full |
| Sweeps up the laurels and plaudits |
| It seems they’re no more than his due |
| A price will be paid in the audit |
| But the kid never thought such things through |
| The kid’s terrified of the stage |
| With his innocence tarnished |
| Buries himself in ahazy half-life |
| Fame’s a vindictive and unyielding lover… |
| Hiding away on his own |
| The kid’s not the first to discover |
| Applause can’t sustain you alone |
| Call it a Faustian deal |
| But the demons that chase him are real enough |
| Everything he touched is broken |
| Everything is damned |
| And he’s running away from the stage |
| Just as fast as he can |
