Nexus Icon

A world awaits an icon to make a connection

A mother complex begs stellar direction

He's taking the chair

He's living the life

He's fucking pretty girls every night

But he ain't fucking the wife

And he's doing the things we'll never do and he's genuine

Judging by the size of his crew

With a face the eye can easily digest

He's down with the big boys and up there with the big best

A Lennon, A Presley, a Muhammad Ali they give us there life

Literally it's got to be all or nothing, death or glory

'Cos the history books could always use a new story

Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon

The negative cycle is waiting for the next one

Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon

This is not open for negotiation

He's living fast, he's dying slow and nobody knows

That the audience approval is the only approval

He's known to be real "at least as real as a rock N' roll show"

Then alone again is the man, but he can't stand being alone

Fighting the fear that is the fade of the glow and the length of the time we

Expect him to give

'Cos someone's got to live like we all want to live and we all want to see

But don't want to be

"Cos someone's gonna die and it ain't gonna be me"

Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon

The negative cycle is waiting for the next one

Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon

This is not open for negotiation

And at times when he's fighting the hate that he feels for the loneliness

Feels for the home that he makes and takes straight to a different place

Where a new set of faces appear to relate but he can't help equate the

Relationship

To the time he swore his love to a whore

Another name on the door, another 1:2:3:4

But the same old crown standing there on the floor

Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon

The negative cycle is waiting for the next one

Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon

This is not open for negotiation

Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon

The negative cycle is waiting for a live one

Nexus Icon, Nexus Icon

And when you're done pass it over to the next one

"And will the last one out please leave the light on?"
