[00:00.00]When The Luster Fades - 14？
[00:23.39]Could be wrong but I think
[00:24.47]When you take center stage not a single eye blinks
[00:27.42]Some forced to squint
[00:28.60]In an awkward attempt
[00:29.96]To somehow filter your glow
[00:31.73]But you know
[00:32.51]That the polish of your armor got'em in a trance
[00:34.69]
[00:35.22]Colors intertwine with the power of a dance
[00:37.19]
[00:37.74]Poetry in motion got'em in a stand still
[00:40.44]Eyes glaze over jaws drop like anvils
[00:42.24]
[00:43.01]A feeling you're wishing that even time can't kill
[00:45.40]Sorry to inform you but it can and will
[00:48.30]So make the most of it
[00:49.38]And folks love it
[00:50.38]Is it the bare essentials
[00:51.72]Or the bells and whistles
[00:52.68]
[00:53.23]Can't tell initially but what remains
[00:55.17]
[00:55.78]When a fella's history is it the name
[00:57.64]
[00:58.29]That fades like memories
[00:59.24]
[00:59.75]Time will tell
[01:00.48]
[01:00.99]You know that the divine's design prevails
[01:03.15]When the luster fades
[01:03.75]
[01:04.46]Will you be a legend or a distant memory
[01:06.74]Praised by your brethren or a waste of energy
[01:08.77]
[01:09.44]When they reminisce over you
[01:11.12]Will they front or give you your dues
[01:13.10]When the luster fades
[01:14.32]Will you make your mark or be written out of history
[01:17.00]Stimulate thought or become a nonentity
[01:19.11]
[01:19.63]When they reminisce over you
[01:21.40]Will they front or give you your dues
[01:23.59]When the luster fades
[01:24.34]We're running out of time and it's funny I guess
[01:26.61]'Cause we strive to make something that it is truly timeless
[01:29.17]That'll never tarnish
[01:30.38]And maintain it's beauty
[01:31.93]But is that the nature of time
[01:33.21]
[01:33.88]They say that we got 15 minutes to shine
[01:35.92]
[01:36.47]But it's all relative
[01:37.70]'Cause 15 minutes can feel like forever if
[01:40.48]We don't believe that time flies
[01:42.21]But you that most are blind to the inner minds eye
[01:44.36]
[01:45.57]Where people come and go with a blink
[01:47.06]And celebrate your memory and toast with a drink
[01:49.94]Making your exit as their next thought enters
[01:52.46]You've made your deposit in their memory bank
[01:55.03]Hoping one day eventually to gain interest
[01:57.22]
[01:57.84]Instead of drawing blanks whenever your name's mentioned
[02:00.29]Hot today tomorrow you're cold lonely
[02:02.87]Tell me where will these songs be
[02:04.71]When the luster fades
[02:05.44]
[02:06.18]Will you be a legend or a distant memory
[02:08.14]
[02:08.84]Praised by your brethren or a waste of energy
[02:10.75]
[02:11.44]When they reminisce over you
[02:13.24]Will they front or give you your dues
[02:15.05]When the luster fades
[02:15.81]
[02:16.62]Will you make your mark or be written out of history
[02:19.13]Stimulate thought or become a nonentity
[02:21.57]When they reminisce over you
[02:23.24]Will they front or give you your dues
[02:25.46]When the luster fades
[02:26.24]
[02:26.79]Where will you go go
[02:28.08]Will you be long forgotten by the people you know know
[02:30.69]When you've lost your glow glow
[02:31.89]No one at the show show
[02:33.29]And your record stop spinning and you're feeling real low low
[02:35.77]When the luster fades
[02:36.91]Where will you go go
[02:38.41]Will you be long forgotten by the people you know know
[02:41.12]When you've lost your glow glow
[02:42.41]No one at the show show
[02:43.53]And your record stop spinning and you're feeling real low low
[02:46.17]When the luster fades
[02:46.85]
[02:47.51]Where will the entourage go
[02:49.22]What will you do if eternal bonds are not so
[02:51.68]How many women stayed when the money got low
[02:54.27]When the fans seen it all will they scream bravo
[02:56.99]Or have a moment of silence minus the reflection
[02:59.58]Will your records be a valued part of their collection
[03:02.38]In a frame on the wall or end up in a dollar bin
[03:05.00]Will you be forgotten or honored
[03:06.96]When the luster fades
[03:07.95]Will you be a legend or a distant memory
[03:10.11]
[03:10.63]Praised by your brethren or a waste of energy
[03:12.68]
[03:13.29]When they reminisce over you
[03:14.93]Will they front or give you your dues
[03:16.98]When the luster fades
[03:17.76]
[03:18.37]Will you make your mark or be written out of history
[03:20.93]Stimulate thought or become a nonentity
[03:22.94]
[03:23.60]When they reminisce over you
[03:25.28]Will they front or give you your dues
[03:27.29]When the luster fades
[03:28.05]
[03:28.56]Will you be a legend or a distant memory
[03:30.65]
[03:31.26]Praised by your brethren or a waste of energy
[03:33.89]When they reminisce over you
