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
