You can be a star, yes a star overnight
Be the center of attraction, in the main spotlight
But just when you get there, the lights'll go out on you
And the very next day, they'll be asking, "Who are you?"
It's a poor man who lives on his former glory
With only pride to back up an empty story
So when the time has come for us to go
Let's throw away pride and admit we know
When the fall comes, oh please let it be slow
Don't let us come down, come down before we even know
Sliding so fast, we can't even stop
We still have a chance if we go down slow
We still have a chance if we go down slow
We still have a chance if we go down slow
We still have a chance if we go down slow
Lighting man, when you bring the lights down
Can you take'em down real easy
Lighting man, can you hear me up there
Please bring those lights down easy
Lighting man, when you bring the lights down
Can you take'em down real easy
Lighting man, can you hear me up there
Please bring those lights down easy
Lighting man, when you bring the lights down
Can you take'em down real easy
Lighting man, can you hear me up there
Please bring those lights down easy
Lighting man, when you bring the lights down
Can you take'em down real easy
Lighting man, can you hear me up there
Please bring those lights down easy
Please bring those lights down easy
Please bring those lights down easy
Please bring those lights down easy
Please bring those lights down easy
