Spotlight Kid Lyrics - Hughes Turner Project

(Blackmore/Glover) 

You don't know what's happening, you want 

to go home 

But there's nowhere to hide 

You walk out on stage, your first time alone 

The crowd's going wild 

And you feel so alive 

You could stand up and take this all night 

They love you but you're in love with the 

spotlight 

You're the spotlight kid 

Jokers and women they hang 'round your 

door 

They're all part of the scene 

Just like a junkie you've got to have more 

It's a pleasure machine 

And you fly every night 

But the dressing room mirror don't lie 

They love you but you're in love with the 

spotlight 

You're the spotlight kid 

Your audience died, faded away 

Leaving you on the stage 

It's been so many years since that first 

matinee 

It seems like an age 

Encore one more time
