Backstage Pass
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ten feet away from the judgment day
Ten feet away from the runway
Tell your girlfriend there's a party in town
And she can come and she can stay
I've been a hotel room and a day on the road
I've been a stone for ev'ry hole in the road
Hey O', there's a stage for ev'ry star in the show
And there's a star for ev'ry stage
Ten feet away from the stage she can stand
Hey O', do you know if she'll think that it's grand
Ten feet away she has the stage in her hands
Hey O', does she know that she's a star in the show
Hey O'
(Hey O')
Hey O'
(Hey O')
Hey O'
There was a girl in California they say
She sold her ticket to ride and then she gave it away
She only wanted someone coming her way (Oooh)
Never the one (Never the one) is coming to stay
Ten feet away from the stage she can stand
Hey O', do you know if she'll think that it's grand
Ten feet away she has the stage in her hands
Hey O', does she know that she's a star in the show
Hey O'
(Hey O')
Hey O'
(Hey O')
Hey O'
(repeat)
