Combustible Partnership: Burning Faster Than Ever
Many dream becoming a musical superstar, but few can do it
Our players had the goods; just needed an opportunity to succeed
A lucky break caused them to be launched into the stratosphere
Also, managed to divide them greater than ever before
Time to focus on what made them and broke them at the same time
Two strong and powerful forces that are eye catching alone
Burned twice as bright when they're within close proximity to each other
An attraction that only got stronger whenever they were closer together
Ambitious individuals who wanted to take over the world of music
To rule in a business where creativity and vice reigned supreme
Everything came easier when you were rich and famous
Also, came at a much higher price than when we were broke
He had a powerful stage presence and a guitar hero persona
Whenever he went into a stellar solo with his red Les Paul
Fans managed to perk up their ears and take notice
His unusually curly black hair shorn to the point of near crewcut
Easier to maintain when on tour with the band for months on end
Kept an air of intensity onstage as well as being a perfectionist in the studio
Stellar production skills and managed to be a taskmaster for the rest of the group
Unfortunately, the band's mistakes ended up falling at his doorstep more often
Than it should have intended to, since he was the de facto leader
With great power comes even greater responsibility when work trumps home life
With a singing partner that could match him pound for pound
Always able to cause a reaction and inspire greatest hits even if it's in anger
She was no slouch either in the musical department either
His feminine other half was skillful at creating an otherworldly vibe
Just from her mystical lyrics and flowy romantic type of dresses
Curly blond hair that grew past her waist with a lot of love and care
A modernized hippy that wanted to be just as powerful if not more so
Than her guitarist partner in musical mayhem and romance
Unfortunately, their professional intensity bled into their domestic life
Workplace differences hard to leave behind at the studio
When the instigator followed you home and paid rent as well
Hard to maintain a level of balance when two alpha personalities
Populated a once balanced relationship and love left the room
Resentments took over and betrayal became commonplace
Grew worse when the former love of your life wanted to go solo
You wanted to spread your wings as well, but didn't fare as well as she did
Passion that withered on the vine into complete and utter disgust
Ignited into discontent after a brief affair with another bandmare
Complicated matters even worse for a short time
Decades past and time seemed to heal most wounds
Turned out it wasn't the case and one of them was fired from the group
That made them all famous and wealthy beyond their wildest dreams
Uncertain if peace will be made; but it was fun while it lasted.
