The dark side of fame is f****** up
The mess is too big and you're locked up
In this rock-star fantasy
In a haze of booze and drugs
and needles lying on the (floor)
Where's your security?
Lost your opportunities?
Larger than life, could you've been?
I guess you only turned into a freak
Just out of track, lost potential,
now you're living in a shadow
Are you really happy living in a shadow?
Living in a shadow of your past
Now you're sick of doing nothing
'Cause doing nothing equals addiction
Throught you could party like Montley Crue?
Cracked actors, starving models,
what're you gonna do?
Problems won't be solved
if you're drugged up
And problems won't be solved if you're stuck
In this rock-star fantasy
Larger than life, it's just a dream
And now you're sick and paralyzed
Stardom's turned into empty lies
Now you're caged and locked inside
Living in the shadows of that perfect life
The mess is too big and you're locked up
In this rock-star fantasy
In a haze of booze and drugs
and needles lying on the (floor)
Where's your security?
Lost your opportunities?
Larger than life, could you've been?
I guess you only turned into a freak
Just out of track, lost potential,
now you're living in a shadow
Are you really happy living in a shadow?
Living in a shadow of your past
Now you're sick of doing nothing
'Cause doing nothing equals addiction
Throught you could party like Montley Crue?
Cracked actors, starving models,
what're you gonna do?
Problems won't be solved
if you're drugged up
And problems won't be solved if you're stuck
In this rock-star fantasy
Larger than life, it's just a dream
And now you're sick and paralyzed
Stardom's turned into empty lies
Now you're caged and locked inside
Living in the shadows of that perfect life
