Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
He's an aging man without a future plan He was a star but now they've all forgot Now he just lives in the past, he's just a blast from the past Our aging star has lost the plot Well he spends every day in salubrious bars Dreaming that he's still a star He's got a big enough gut to string a thousand guitars Wow! He writes songs all year wich no one wants to hear He's the ghost of a rock and roll star He's got no record deal, he's got no modern feel He's the ghost of a rock and roll star There's more grooves on his face than on his latest LP Which the music press just shot down in flames He's musically dead for all the world to see Wow ! He grumble he was as big as Jimi Hendrix Now the only thing that grumbles is his grumbling appendix Lots of children he's got, well he was on the road a lot He's the ghost of a rock and roll star Now the groupies ain't there...and nor is his hair He's the ghost of a rock and roll star He cries in his sleep but there is no one to hear He once used to have the ears of the world Now there is no one around to care for one single tear Wow ! Now there is no one around who wants to hear his new sound That he hoped would shoot him back to fame Now he's dying inside as well as dying outside A talent that has turned to shame Rock and roll ghost, rock and roll ghost Ghost of a rock and roll star So he's fading away, getting dimmer each day He's the ghost of a rock and roll star Rock and roll ghost, rock and roll ghost Ghost of a rock and roll star So he's leaving my friend, career at its end He's the ghost of a rock and roll star Rock and roll ghost, rock and roll ghost Ghost of a rock and roll star They find him one day, at last passed away To the rock and roll heaven afar So at last without risk, there's a psthumous disc By the ghost of a rock and roll star
