Your son looks pale, lost his energy
Bottles broke, broke his anger
He isn't brave but keeps the legend
safe, he has buried all the answers

Sid, your son's lost his head,
he has left the wedding bed
Waltzes on drugs, it keeps him singing 
Well he's waisted now,
they had to leave him out

He could no be part of the living
Could not beat hem, failed to say
How it was to be the only sinner
And a man who couldn't sell the world

Sid, your son's bored to death,
just witin for his cheque
He broke his deal with press
and pressure
He wasn't very brave,
your legacy is safe,
they've mingled your ashes

He is wanted as before,
they want him even more
the lights are on
but they're not leaving
They're waiting for a show
and they don't want to know

He could not be part of the living
Could not beat them, failed to say
How it was to be the only sinner
And a man who couldn't sell the world 

He could not be part of the living
Could not beat them, failed to say
How it was to be a lonely singer
And a man who couldn't save the world
