He got weights on his shoulders
He got chains round his neck
'Fore he get very much older
He be a nervous wreck
He got plenty hangers on
To keep him happy and high
But deep down inside him
You can hear him cry
Local Boy chops wood - Headline reads
Local Boy makes good - watch him bleed
Local Boy chops wood - what went wrong
Local Boy who made good wasn't too strong
One riff of his guitar
Gonna change the whole scene
He's a rebel-romantic
With a Death-wish dream
Local Boy chops wood - Headline reads
Local Boy makes good - watch him bleed
Local Boy chops wood - what went wrong
Local Boy who made good wasn't too strong
He keep ice in his young veins
To cool the fires in his head
It'll take more than double brandy
To dry the tears he shed
Rock Star found dead - headline reads
Rock Star found dead - pictures need
Rock Star found dead - what went wrong
Rock Star found dead - wasn't too strong
