Worn-out Rock Star
Note: This was the product of an extremely boring Physics lesson in early June 2001. Coincidentally, this was also the time when the guys reportedly asked AJ if he was well enough to go on with the second North America leg of the Black and Blue Tour. And we all know what happened after that.
You step out of
the limo
Sunglasses perched atop your nose
The piercing in their labret glistens
In the flashes of the paparazzi
Pictures taken,
autographs signed
Bodyguards wrestling hysterical fans
You smile and wave accordingly
As you escape to the safety of your room
You slump on th
bed
Tired out by the show
Lord knows what you're thinking of
As you lie there, unmoving
Clothes taken off
Tattooed torso revealed
Hot water cascades down your body
As you cleanse yourselves of the day's events
Tired out and
sleepless in the dead of night
As random thoughts whirl round your head
A quiet cigarette out on your balcony
Trying to ignore the screams from downstairs
Only four more
hours till the next plane
Twenty more to a distant land
You sneer at the misconception of yours
Being the perfect, glamorous life
