I want to be a silhouetted against a white light on a podium 17 feet above the ground
I want to walk down 12 blood red steps onto a floor jutting out towards millions of hands
I want to be touched by all of them.

I want to say 3 glorious words and hear screams of anticipation in euphoric response
I want to pick up a brand new guitar and a steel microphone, and to feel the lyrics inside
I want to scream all of them.

I want to look down in every direction my head can turn and see faces looking back at me
I want to shout the devil's music and the mantras of a million hateful heartbeats to them
I want to see them shout it all right back at me.

I want to make a single move and be the point of all fixation no matter where I am
I want to glide across the stage and move with the sounds of the thumping crowd
I want to hear them call my name over and over.

The pulses of a million clashing steps will serve as my drums
The screams of a million hoarse voices will serve as my guitar
The explosions in the sky will serve as my technotix, my bass
The ranting of a madman will serve as my lyrics, my voice

The downfall of the nation will be my gain.

I want to be a big ******* rock star.
