Quote:
You say you wouldn't do this for very long
The applause from it all is so defining
Well it bounces off the wall at you
When the miracle is happening
High priestess...she's the keeper of the peace in this
Twice as much, intensified
What people will do
To get...this...high

I think this paragraph could be about Christine and the whole life of a rock star.
Christine says she 'wouldn't do this for very long'...she could be referring to The Dance tour (about when this song was written maybe?) or even just staying with FM period.
But then Stevie tries to reassure Chris of all the great things involved in being a rock star: adoration from fans ('the applause from it all is so defining'), and the magic ('when the miracle is happening').
Stevie has often described being on stage as experiencing so much energy, or a natural high. The like 'What people will do to get this high' simply means people would do anything to be famous on stage and experience the high of performing.
I'll have to think about some of the other parts of the song. This part definitely jumped out at me the first time I heard it!
