Rock and roll dreams don't come true,
They just surely die,
Along with many other dreams I've had,
I hang my head and cry.

You share my life and my day,
I look across at you,
And what do I see?
A photocopied version of you.

I feel like I'm invisible,
Something too small to see,
I cannot change the course of time,
I cannot raise the dead.

The palace of redemption is crumbling,
All it's walls weak and thin,
A lot like me in certain ways,
I can see life's evil grin.

I lead this way, you pull that,
My soul's singing is not imaginary,
It's filled with love and inner beauty,
A lot like the powers that be.

I hope all will see it,
And all will come to know,
Everything is within your reach,
If only you will grow.

The last verse says it all


Jenny Lee

------------------
Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

Brilliant poem
Don't appreciate meatloaf references as i am a big fan

(especialy Objects in the rear view mirror(may appear closer than they are)as this is one of the best lyrical songs i've ever heard big inspiration check it out)

Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd
