In The Wings

Gasolin'

She was standing in the wings that night

I saw her weeping before the lights

Blinded my eyes

Yes, blinded my eyes



I saw her taking of a wedding band

And whisper to the stage door man

But I was high

Yes, I was too high



High on the sound

As the crowd called out my name

I though that I could take it

I paid my dues to make it

To me it was a foolish game



But without you, girl (without you, girl)

Nothing is the same (ooh-ooh-ooh)

The song I write is pity

The song I sing are empty

I need you by my side again

I need a friend



Damn the critics and the Rolling Stone

Promotion men and agency gnomes

My mind is blown

I'm so alone



Wind me up and I can dance and sing

Like a puppet on a string

I play my guitar

They say I'm a star



Who am I fooling

What does it all mean

The audience is screaming

Celebrities I'm meeting

The money and the limousines



'Cause without you, girl (without you, girl)

Nothing is the same (ooh-ooh-ooh)

The song I write is pity

The song I sing are empty

I need you by my side again

I need a friend
