[00:23.940] As you step out onto that Nobel stage [00:35.563] Spare a thought for the man [00:37.787] Who labors on the page [00:46.906] When you're standing in the spotlight [00:49.220] Where you've always been [00:53.964] I'll be alone with the pen [00:56.117] Alone with the pen [01:05.339] When they lay that medal [01:07.605] On your crooked heart [01:16.644] Cast your eyes to the heavens [01:18.849] In the name of art [01:27.854] I could send a card [01:29.859] But I believe you know [01:35.163] It's just another show [01:37.267] Another show [01:42.627] And all the time [01:44.322] And the tears and blood [01:46.820] Were like a stream [01:48.288] That flows free from the mud [01:50.611] When it's over [01:52.621] And we've turned to dust [01:54.702] They'll say you wore the laurel [01:57.988] For the rest of us [02:14.449] You know I used to be the best [02:16.552] I used to be the champ [02:25.847] Now I pick through my past [02:27.930] Like a hungry tramp [02:37.025] When I meet your eyes [02:39.015] Above the oil drum flame [02:44.178] I see the price of fame [02:46.207] The price of fame [02:51.313] I'm gonna raise a glass tonight [02:53.890] To you up there [02:58.434] From some hotel bedspread [03:00.820] In my underwear [03:05.760] I could say it's luck the way [03:08.210] You got there first [03:12.881] But denial's the worst [03:15.162] It's the worst [03:20.280] And all the time [03:21.920] And the tears and blood [03:24.468] Were like a stream [03:25.890] That flows free from the mud [03:28.349] When it's over [03:30.102] And we've turned to dust [03:32.295] They'll say you wore the laurel [03:35.579] For the rest of us [03:43.930] Spartacus [03:52.120] Spartacus [04:00.190] Spartacus [04:08.170] Spartacus
