From the recording Rock Star (Dedicated to the Ruined Heroes of the Sunset Strip)
Lyrics
last night
the rhythm inside
the way that you cried
i almost died
i love you
backstage
a primitive age
my decadent rage
I'm so afraid
i hurt you
tonguetied
with hesitant pride
the will is defied
i'll never lie
i hate you
heartsore
on the killing floor
the beautiful war
you wanted more
i'll take you
and we'll float away
on the rivers of the sun
heartsick
the battle so thick
burning down the wick
a misery trick
I'll feed you
rockstar
you never went far
the mystery you are
your broken guitar
I need you
last call
you're breaking the wall
the bottom will fall
and then we'll all
be torn through
last night
the rhythm inside
the way that you cried
i almost died
i love you
(From the album Multitudes)
