Lyrics
Golden lights displaying your name
Golden lights, it's a terrible shame
But, oh, my darling
Why did you change?
Boy in a million, idol, a big star
I didn't tell you how great you were
I didn't grovel and scream and rip
Your brand new jacket at the seams
You made a record, they liked your singing
All of a sudden the phone stops ringing
I never thought that you would let
The glory make you forget
Golden lights displaying your name
Golden lights, it's a terrible shame
But oh, my darling
Why did you change?
Top ten idol, king of your age
Who do you turn to when you're backstage?
Don't you remember you once knew a girl
You loved her more than the world
Is life always like this, brother?
Good for one side but bad for another
I must put you behind me tonight
'Cause you belong to the lights
Those golden lights displaying your name
Golden lights, it's a terrible shame
But oh, my darling
Why did you change?
Oh, oh, my darling
Why, why did you change?
Oh
