Standing tall in the spotlight
Looking out through the footlights
Hear the roaring of the crowd
And your whole world is turnin'
Spinnin' faster and faster
As you try to keep up now
One more line to hit the stage
One more drink to kill the rage
You find it's buildin' up inside you now
And the brightest star burns fastest
Like a candle burning at both ends
But the curtain falls on an empty stage
As the brightest star fades away
Fades away
Oh, yeah
There's a hunger inside
From which no one can hide
Still, you try to keep control
You don't know what you need
But you want more and more
But you just can't let it go
Another dark and empty night
With no one there to hold you tight
And keep you back from falling off the edge
And the brightest star burns fastest
Like a candle burning at both ends
But the curtain falls on an empty stage
As the brightest star fades away
Fades away
One more line to hit the stage
One more drink to kill the rage
You find it's buildin' up inside you now
And the brightest star burns fastest
Like a candle burning at both ends
But the curtain falls on an empty stage
As the brightest star fades away
Fades away
