I was all alone, in those early days
I was always unafraid and that’s the way it stayed
When I heard my name I gave no reply
This boy is burning bright yet vanished overnight
It’s time to say goodbye, it’s time to say goodbye
If I can’t last tomorrow, what good am I tonight
It’s time to say goodbye it’s time to say goodbye
I understand I’m just a man and i’ve got nothing special to be
And accept my own defeat
The more I tried to stay the same, the more around me changed
And I could not admit that I no longer knew the way
They said there was no room for a prophet such as I
I was rich with integrity and that you cannot buy
It's time to say goodbye it's time to say goodbye
If I can't last tomorrow, what good am I tonight
It’s time to stay alive, it's time to stay alive
I understand I’m just a man and i’ve got nothing special too be
But I won’t hang my shadow on the wall
I’ll carry on and go it alone
At least until tomorrow
Everybody wants to put you down, cause they just cannot see
What rose beyond the foreign clouds, but i’m still on my feet
Although the earth is scoured, by the brave stranded on their knees
All are born with wings to fly the night and not destined for debris
So the Story Goes
Though some people say you’re miles away, you better grow up fast and pretty soon
They just might not find whatever they've lost, but hey that’s not you
If you think you’re gonna break on the scene, you’re just gonna end up like the rest
Until you draw your final breath

Waltzer waltzer, get down on your knees
Waltzer waltzer, all eyes upon me
Forget your tiny blinders, they’re drenched in perjury
Waltzer waltzer, i'll be your maitre’ d
Because its three two one go, eeny meany miney mo, waltzer
Three, two, one, go! c’est la vie geronimo, now, now, now
Waltzer waltzer, I don't know who you think you are (I don’t know who you think you are)
Your deceit is skillful, imitation isn’t art
Forget your great pretenders, I can smell them from afar
All you waltzer waltzers, it's me you're searching for
If you watch me closely boots, guitar and denim tee waltzer
Well do you feel spun can you hear my loaded gun, now, now, now
Three, two, one, go! c'est la vie, geronimo, now, now, now

I’ve been sleeping around with the lost and the found but you know that cause you know my name
I saw you down at the bar you wore a stare like a scar but every superstar need his honey
Well you came in on cue, all the lights had turned blue and you looked like a foxy angel
I’m a sucker for love but I get drunker on lust and the taste of your lips is contagious
Cause I won’t Survive
No I won’t survive
I took a drink or two from the fountain of youth and in it I could see my reflection
But the more that I drank, that vision, it sank, far beyond beneath my complexion
Well now where was I babe it's getting fast and it's late and I think that I’ve made up my mind
Would you lead the way, no I wont turn away, I'll just follow you close behind
Cause I won't survive after hours
No I won't survive after hours
Pour this man another, make him walk another line
I'll be your southern comfort lover, if tonight you will be mine
I’ll wait beneath the covers, but not the ones I’d like
My time is surely over, so thank you and goodnight!
I won't survive, no I won't survive
I try to hold on
To what I have lost
But now it's all gone
And it's all gone
And now I'm gone

So I guess this is it
You got a taste for that tonic you call the pits
And I've had quite a bit of it
Held in such high esteem, though I didn't know it
So many times, I tried not to show it
And I could have had it all
But my pride came before my fall
And It's a pretty long way down
When there's no-one there to catch you when you do.

Who turned out the lights on my life?
Have I traversed below or above the sky?
How did I spend my days, when everything around me had changed?
So sets the sun before I even started on drifting through the waves
Mama what a waste, when you're caught between the vigil and the haze
I call out the dark from where it hides
But the only voice that I can hear call back is mine
Tears like sand slipping through the hourglass
Mama what a waste I've been drifting through the waves
How did I spend my days
When everything around me stays the same
So sets the sun before I've even started on the vigil and the haze
How can I live forevermore
When nothing lies past heavens door
Well where, where? Does my compass lie
These lungs are too good for a modern sky
Well where, where? where's my head at I’m just trying not find whatever I have lost
I was ok, stranded for days
Caught between my, between the vigil and the haze
Between the vigil and the haze

First I was blind but now I can see
Said our fenix as he rose to his knees
Like a shadow he grows from the heart of its flame
And he will rise from the ashes
There’s bright lights in front of my eyes
They kind of look like pinholes through the curtain of the night
So I swam through black till I found my way back to the other side
Where am I? Is this time mine?
Everbodys looking at me like I've lost my mind
My spirits broke, my hope it got choked
and my dreams went to heaven in a little rowing boat
There used to be angels in neon skies and junkies bound for glory
I’ve got a feeling I’ve left it behind but it's always the same old story
I traveled the haze and alluded my grave, I paid the highest levy
Taking destiny by the hand she’s so heavy
All I can see is electricity surging through zombified eyes
All I can hear is the sound of applause streaming through deaf defined ears
Struggle and pain seem trivialised and it comes as no surprise
See how they trade their dispassion for lies
As I rise from the ashes
From the Ashes
From the Ashes

Well good evening sir how can I be of assistance to you
I could be your hostess, I can be anything, anything you like for a hefty sum price
Cause thats all that I’ve ever known
Selling myself out for the fame and the glory none of which my own
Here at the goodwood hotel, two nights for the price of a life
Spent chasing the prize
Yes here at the Goodwood hotel,
I can be anything, anything I like, no one tells me otherwise
Here at the goodwood hotel, two nights for the price of a lifetime chasing the prize
Here at the goodwood hotel you can take it slow, take it so very slowly, as slow as you want it
And one day you wake up to find your the last of your kind
What's a rock and roll boy like you gonna do?
Your so far from home with nowhere to roam
Just make it on through
How bad do you want me
How bad do you need me
It's just never enough is it?
And one day you wake up to find your the last of your kind
What's a rock and roll boy like you gonna do?
You're so far from home with nowhere to roam
Just make it last for two nights at the goodwood hotel…
...you can be anything, anything you like
For a hefty sum price
Here at the goodywoody hotel, two nights for the price of a life spent chasing the prize
Here at the Goodwood Hotel
Here at the Goodwood Hotel

I said hey look at what we’ve got here
I said hey the bad sons smell your fear
I've seen you hanging around this place
With that same lost look all over your face
And I know i've heard your name
I’ve heard you calling I’ve heard you screaming “mal hijo, mal hijo”
I've heard you calling my name
I hear you calling I hear you screaming “mal hijo mal hijo”
I've heard you calling my name
I said hey, what's it gotta do with you
I said hey, what's a rock and roll boy to do
When you wake up in a different time
And all endorse their own demise
You know, you know their games
I’ve heard you calling I’ve heard you screaming “mal hijo, mal hijo”
I've heard you calling my name
I hear you calling I hear you screaming “mal hijo mal hijo”
I've heard you calling, get down!
And though the earth is scoured
By the brave stranded on their knees
All are born with wings to fly the night
Not destined for debris
Cause I, I’ve heard you calling i’ve heard you screaming “mal hijo, mal hijo”
I've heard you calling my name
I hear you calling I hear you screaming “mal hijo mal hijo”
I've heard you calling my name

Our Fenix was living in his gall
Waltzing his crowd and playing after hours
Who but fate should send him out of time
To the place where no-one knows his kind
When he arose from the haze
He reminisced of all his days
thanking his pride for misfortune sent his way
He came across a bad hotel
he met the four sons from hell
And they asked him will you compromised your name
He felt his lungs begin to swell
He turned around and gave them hell
I'll be a superstar one day
Na na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na, na na na na na …etc.
I’ll be a superstar…

I think I've taken this a bit too far
Said Fenix as he dusted his guitar
He rode his carbon fibre down the trail
Lost in translation and betrayal
I, found my old disguise
Far beneath the lies
In hope that I would find
A new horizon
I wear my shame with pride
Cause I will never die
How can I live forevermore?
When nothing lies passed heavens door
I feel my boots sink in the sand
This life’s too heavy for a one man band
I, found my old disguise
Far beneath the lies
In hope that I would find
A new horizon
I wear my shame with pride
Cause I will never die
Everybody wants to put you down
Cause they just cannot see
All are born with wings to fly the night
And not destined for debris
Cause I, I will never die
I will never die
I will never die
I will never die

I was all alone, in those early days
I was always unafraid and that’s the way it stayed
When I heard my name I gave no reply
This boy who burned so brightly, the flame that never died
It’s time to say goodbye, It’s time to say goodbye
If I can’t last tomorrow, what good am I tonight
It’s time to stay alive it’s time to stay alive
I understand I’m just a man and i’ve got something special to be
Trade my tears for fame
And maybe they’ll remember my name
Mama what a waste
I'll be a superstar someday
I’ll be a superstar someday
Although i try to leave behind
This deprived life of mine
I'm losing hope of this one man show
C’est la vie, Geronimo
Superstar superstar superstar, yeah yeah yeah
Superstar superstar superstar yeah yeah yeah
I’ll wait for the end, though it never comes for me...
...To give up now is the only way they’ll see
That my daughters will adore me
And they’ll sing in all my glory
Well here's to you and here's to me
Yes here's to you and here's to me
Ain't that the way things go
For those who will try to be bold
End up riding rough, and then sure enough. they’ll lose their way
I’ll be a superstar some day
I’ll be a superstar some day
How bad do you want me
How bad do you need me
It's just never enough is it
I will go where more have gone
And I will take my final vow
And I will be what i'm supposed to be my friend
I'll be a superstar till the end
I'll be a superstar right until the very end
