It’s a long way back
It’s a heart attack
It’s a long way back
To you
You leave your home
Seeking sights unknown
Finally on your own
For a while
So this young man fights
Put his name up in lights
Let him sign away his life
For a song
Teenage Idol
Teenage Idol
You’re on a roll
Keep on going
Stay unbroken for us all
They bleed your wounds
For some rhymes and some tunes
And then all too soon
They’ll be gone
But the highs don’t stop
When the lights turn off
And you find that you’re not
Who you thought
Teenage Idol
Teenage Idol
You’re on a roll
Keep on going
Stay unbroken for us all
When the paydays slow
And your new friends go
And you find you don’t know
Which way to turn
It’s a long way back
It’s a heart attack
It’s a long way back
To you
Teenage Idol
Teenage Idol
You’re all alone
Keep on going
Stay unbroken for us all
