I see you've got your ticket,
Are you ready to go?
"I'll shine with a passion
Mom and Dad don't know."
That precious baby child
Grew a mind of his own.
And now he's got this bright idea,
He's gonna make it alone.
Guitar around the shoulder
With no tint of regret,
Last trace of DNA left
On the butt of a cigarette.
No not, no speech,
No number to reach.
Every inch of his room
Has been covered in bleach.
There are holes in the walls
Getting eaten away
From the thick water stains
By the downpour of rain
That began to come down
Upon that very day.
And it never stopped.
No, The rain still remains.
And the clouds overhead,
They've been crying for you.
But it's all for the better now,
Swallow the truth.
Yeah, it hurts but for now
It's all you can do
To reason and To choke back
The tears that he drew.
He makes his reservation at a hotel.
He doesn't know the area too well.
Oh well, what the hell?
You gotta learn from your mistakes
'Cause stupid doesn't sell.
You need eyes in the back
Of your head to excel.

But you're just a kid
With a ticket and a dream.
You don't know what it's like out there,
The city is mean.
Sex, drugs and money,
Is that all that you need?
Don't be so naive,
Are you stupid? Can't you read?
There's a sign on the door
With big, fancy stenciling,
"Speak to the secretary."
Tried to get penciled in.
But it's harder than that.
Do you even have talent?
And if you were suddenly famous
Do you think you could handle it?
Because the second you're known,
You've got a price on your head.
Everyone's placing bets
On how you'll end up dead.
It's a hard life to live,
You should turn back instead.
But you'll never listen,
So keep walking ahead.
'Cause sooner or later,
It's going to happen.
You won't even expect it,
It'll happen just like that.
When they cover up your head
With a black, drab graphic.
You can think about your actions,
Was your life worth Platinum status?
And the chorus sings:
Dada dada da da da da da da (x4)
If you're gonna take off and
Burn the bridges behind,
You gotta stop in your tracks
And look at what's inside
Of your head and your heart.
And if they agree,
You can go try and be
Another dead celebrity.
