ROCKSTAR
For the love of a Rock Star
(first part)
(first part)
Hidden in pockets and clasped in hands,
Tickets worth more than gold.
We trek from city to city,
Country to country,
For the love of music..
An army of broken dolls.
Huddled under many umbrella's,
The rain, the cold, the excitement and yearning,
For that special person to remind us to believe.
I was there just like you.
32 hours waiting in our best rock clothes.
Adrenaline warm in tissue thin layers.
Together,
We held a close tight unity.
Different stories and reasons to be there,
But the love we shared the same.
For the love of a rock star, we've all slept in the rain.
(second part)
We'd gather down smelly alley
Along the gravelled curbs,
Safety a small sacrifice to pay,
For a glimpse of his painted face
To sing away our pain.
~
Incomplete and empty,
In the darkness together.
...And when the music penetrates our bodies,
The outside fades away.
His voice, a cure to fix the pieces.
He may not sing in tune,
But he sings in a tune our hearts can understand.
His powerful silence,
Our hearts have stopped again.
(quiet, and vocalist wispers )
The love of a rock star, I too needed you back then.
( pause - hold the silence imitating live concert,
and then vocalist gets the crowd going with ques to work up the agression level again -screams - "jump, jump jump" - ect
(third part
- faster, more aggressive, yell-spoken/roared/screamed/)
And he can sing anything,
Verse after Verse.
Theres no translation.
Important messages through head crushing lyrics too hard to stomach,
And sometimes we dont understand at all,
But it doesnt matter because we're all waiting
For that chorus we're hooked on,
That chorus that ensnares us all.
~
(softens slightly)
We vent our feelings through their music,
And they absorb our love and gratitude.
For the love of our Rockstars.....
(whispered)
Thank You
Stop.
music solo,
~
outro..slowered down for end.)
They dont even know us,
...but they know we're here,
and that's enough.
So when the ribbons fall and the mic softly swings,
We dare to breathe again.
Knowing smiles.
We'll all be back..until next time,
Ja, matta Ne!
For the love of a rock star we'll all meet in the rain / here again.
