Lyrics Fallen Idol - Greg Kihn Band

They say it's lonely at the top
They say the only thing you got
Is isolation, sure brings you down
No true friends still come around
It's so cold here in the wings
The singer knows the song he sings
His washed-out image
About to take a fall
Inside, he doesn't care at all
And the lights go up on the Fallen Idol
There will be no joy in the dressing room tonight
And the curtain falls on the Fallen Idol
In a black limousine
He will leave here unseen
Tonight

When he was young he was a fighter
He always knew which way to go
But time has changed him
And rearranged him
And it seems like he's the last to know.
And the lights go up on the Fallen Idol
As he stares into the spotlight one more time
There's no curtain call for the Fallen Idol
As the band looks away
They don't know what to play
Tonight

He stands alone now on the edge of the stage
And I swear I can hear his heart pounding
His voice is just a hoarse whisper
In the back shadows and echos of the great auditorium
And he looks out, he looks out, he looks out at the faces
And he says, "Reach out and touch me,
Well, I might fade away.
Reach out, reach out and touch me,
Before I fade away."
And the lights go up on the Fallen Idol
As he looks right down the barrel one last time
And it's curtains now for the Fallen Idol
As he walks from the stage
With his soul is in a rage
Tonight
Tonight

Reach out for the Fallen Idol
Reach out, reach out
For the Fallen Idol
Reach out
