Faded Glory

Poeta de Cabra

I was once a singer, a famous rock star
Every one loved me, I was so very popular
Sang with the best, up there on the stage
Mick Jagger, The Beatles and even Jimmie Page
  I sang in all the big cities, all over the world
  I was so happy, being such a star, a popular girl
  Making so much money, but I was running amuck
  Forgot my friends and family, I didn`t give a fuck
No one else mattered, I was the important one
Forgot about my husband, and my dear little son
The things that really mattered, I`d lost all sight
There were lots of groupies, and parties every night
  Lots of booze, men, and the drugs, were never short
  If I ever felt bad, some powder I would snort
  No one ever told me, that I was doing myself harm
  By injecting all that shit, into the veins of my arm 
I`d awake some mornings, feeling a bloody mess
But after some drugs, I became again, a Goddess
Everybody loved me, I was their favourite daughter
I thought the same, thought, I could walk on water
  One morning I awoke, all shattered and broke
  No alchohol to drink, and no grass for a smoke 
  All my friends deserted me, left me for dead
  Said that I was definately, fucked in the head
It was all over, my life of sex, drugs and fun
My husband had long gone, and took with him my son
I had bought it all on myself, of that, there`s no doubt
Spent a week in hell, just crying  and drying out
    I had lost everything, my good looks and my wealth
    And I was skin and bone, not a picture of good health
    Broken down I was, all drug fucked and spent
    Dragged myself outside, to the hospital I went
For weeks I was there, in bed on a drip
The truth and reality, I wanted to grip
Slowly I came good, to God I needed to talk
Then two weeks later, I could finally walk
    I`m living in a rehab center, at this very time
    Please don`t worry about me, I`ll be just fine
    I`m now a faded angel, don`t deserve a lot of glory
    Just hoping that someone, learns from my sad story
