Golden lights displaying your name
golden lights it's a terrible shame
but oh my darling
why did you change ?
Boy in a million, idol, a big star
i didn't tell you how great you were
i didn't grovel and scream
and rip your brand new jacket at the seams

you made a record, they liked your singing
all of a sudden the phone stops ringing
ah ... i never thought that you would let
the glory make you forget

golden lights displaying your name
golden lights it's a terrible shame
but oh my darling
why did you change ?

top ten idol, king of your age
who do you turn to when you're backstage ?
don't you remember you once knew a girl
you loved her more than the world

is life always like this, brother ?
good for one side but bad for another
i must put you behind me tonight
'cause you belong to the lights

those golden lights displaying your name
golden lights it's a terrible shame
but oh my darling
why did you change ?

oh, oh my darling
why ?
why did you change ?
Oh ...
