Don't fade away (2003)

Flames hurt my eyes
when you burn out,
before you get old you hope to die.
Silence is like pain
when you fade away
like an echo of a muted cry.

Don't fade away
you have all the time
in the world to raise your name
and you could be inducted
into rock and roll hall of fame.

Flames...

Don't burn out
your hands could be
immortalized on Hollywood Boulevard
or would you rather haunt
on a public graveyard.

Flames...

Don't die young
don't write songs about
sympathy for Kurt, Keith Moon
wait until you are knighted
for the greatest rocking tune.
