You don't know what's happening you want to go home. but there's nowhere to hide. you walk out on stage your first time alone. the crowd's going wild. and you feel so alive. you could stand up and take this all night. they love you but you're in love with the spotlight. you're the spotlight kid. Jokers and women they hang 'round your door. they're all part of the scene. just like a junkie you've got to have more. it's a pleasure machine. and you fly every night. but the dressing room mirror don't lie. they love you but you're in love with the spotlight. you're the spotlight kid. Your audience died faded away. leaving you on the stage. it's been so many years since that first matinee. it seems like an age. encore one more time. for the ghosts of the past in your mind. they love you but you're in love with the spotlight. you're the spotlight kid. you're living in a dream. you're the spotlight kid
