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
Ah ... 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 ...
