Lyrics:

The stars in the city go out one by one
And I think it’s gonna rain
I heard the man shout loud to a sold-out crowd
“There’s nothin’ much worse than fame”
And I wasn’t sure I believed him
So I turned to walk away
With the music behind me I was laughing at the irony
In shouting those words from a stage

He made songs from his sins
So we could give in to our own
I should have known
He’d make a final sacrifice
So heed your own vice

The other day I stopped by for a drink
And you asked me if I heard the news
You turned the TV on and before too long
It read: “Dead at 32”
But the stars at night only shine so bright
From my distorted point of view
And I think I cried and you just sighed
“Another young one gone too soon”

He made songs from his sins
So they could give in to their own
I should have known
He’d make a final sacrifice
So heed your own vice
