Slim Song (lonely At The Top) Lyrics

There once was this band
I’m telling you those boys could rock
Slim played his guitar like an astronaut
But behind the backstage door
Somebody turned green for sure
Outshined by the star people loved and adored

They started in the garage practicing
They thought they’d always be the best of friends
A little too much of the light on Slim
And he’s lonely at the top

The band hit the stage
But the crowd only called for Slim
He was the man of the times
He meant everything
When the crowd called for more
The band did a worldwide tour
And he was running the show
Just like an ego-whore

They started in the garage practicing
They thought they’d always be the best of friends
A little too much of the light on Slim
A little too much light for any man
Then he started trying to run the show
The band left, they couldn’t take no more Now that fool's singing solo
He’s feeling so low

He thought he had everything
But it was all just a dream
Cause when you’re alone no one sings harmony
And then the bottom just dropped
When the music just stopped
This may come as a shock
But it’s lonely at the top

In the end of an age and a star turned stardust
Lined with ashes of dreams and bloody music sheets
And the fame killed our friend
We tried again but the chance was slim
Victim of the music industries' beast within

They started in the garage practicing
They thought they’d always be the best of friends
A little too much of the light on Slim
Too much light for any man
Then he started trying to run the show
We had to leave, we couldn’t take no more
Now that fool is just singing solo, alone
Lonely at the top
