Spotlight Kid (live) - Rainbow

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

For the ghosts of the past in your mind

They love you but you're in love with the spotlight

You're the spotlight kid

You're living in a dream

You're the spotlight kid

You're in love with the spotlight
