The days of a champion

are numbered it seems

The days of a champion

now the cameras burn hot

The days of a champion

they'd even duel to get the shot

The days of a champion

they'll search for him

but he's a burnt out star



(chorus)

He'll be out of the picture

but stuck in the frame

no more prizes, no more accolades

and no more famous name

no more famous name



The days of a champion

they will dissect his whole career

The days of a champion

and watch him disappear

The days of a champion

unrecognised he'll walk the busy streets

The days of a champion

he will be private again



(chorus)



The days of a champion

he'll watch the young man rise to fame

The days of a champion

knowing their ends must be the same

The days of a champion

friends acquired on golden days are gone

The days of a champion

he'll search for them - in vain
