WILDHEARTS, THE NEXUS ICON LYRICS

 
A world awaits an idol to make a connection
A mother complex begs stellar direction
Hes taking the chair
Hes living the life
Hes fucking pretty girls every night
But he aint fucking the wife

And hes doing the things well never do
And hes genuine judging by the size of his crew
With a face the eye can easily digest
Hes down with the big boys, and up there with the big best

A Lennon, a Presley, Muhammed Ali
They give us their life, literally
Its 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 to negotiation

Hes living fast, hes dying slow
And nobody knows that the audience approval is the only approval
Hes known to be real
at least as real as a rock n roll show

Then alone again is the man
But he cant stand being alone, fighting the fear that is the fade of the glow
And the length of the time we expect him to give
Cuz someones got to live like we all want to live
And we all want to see but we dont want to be
Cuz if someones gonna die it aint gonna be me

Nexus icon, nexus icon
the negative cycle is waiting for the next one
Nexus icon, nexus icon
this is not open to negotiation

And at times like these when hes 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 cant help equate the relationship to the time that 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 to negotiation
Nexus icon, nexus icon
the negative cycle is waiting for a live one
Nexus icon, nexus icon and when youre done pass it over to the next one

And will the last one out please leave the light on
