The Immortal Story

(album: The Only Ones - 1978)

I used to dream of this
I lay awake at night imagining this
It was the only purpose in my life
But right now I'm terrified

Suddenly it's so close
Suddenly it's in reach
Suddenly it's really scaring me

Ah, it's so close
And I'm in its reach
It's telling me how I gotta be

They want you, they'll get you
I wish I didn't have to let you go

Even the best laid plans
Sometimes get out of hand
When dreams become reality
That's living death can't you see?

When you got the power
It gets abused
When you got the power it gets used

Travelling down the road
That leads to fame and glory
This really is the immortal story

They want you, they'll get you
I wish I didn't have to let you go
