Fame he yearned and he died too young
Too reserved and now he's burned out now
He won a place history
And his name will live eternally
Lived a life of a movie star
And he waved to the people from a big black car
Down in a book with the greatest names
He was a lonely man growing tired of fame
Tell me a story mister
There ain't no time left to lose
Ten men trying in the dead of night
For the great mans final words to write
In a room that was all of red
The great man spoke just like the dead
Tell me a story mister
There ain't no time left to lose
Writer(s): Jeff Lynne
