Long Live Rock ’n’ Roll

At the end of a dream If you know what I mean When the mist just starts to clear In a similar way At the end of today I could feel the sound of writing on the wall It cries for you It's the least that you can do Like a spiral on the wind I can hear it screamin' in my mind Long live rock and roll Long live rock n' roll Long live rock and roll In a different time When the words didn't rhyme You could never quite be sure Then on with the change It was simple but strange And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all It cries for you It's the least that you can do Like a spiral on the wind I can hear it screamin' in my mind Long live rock and roll Long live rock n' roll Long live rock and roll If you suddenly see What has happened to me You should spread the word around And tell everyone here That it's perfectly clear They can sail above it all on what they've found It cries for you It's the best that you can do Like a sound that's everywhere I can hear it screamin' through the air Long live rock and roll Long live rock n' roll Long live rock and roll

There's a magical sound slidin' over the ground Makin' it shiver and shake And a permanent cry fallin' out of the sky Slippery and sly like a snake With a delicate move kind of shifty and smooth A shadow has covered the light Then a beam in the shade from a silvery blade Has shattered the edge of the night I know she waits below Only to rise on command When she comes for me She's got my life in her hands When a movement behind hit the side of my mind I trembled and shook it away Then another assault and I started to falter Fibers of steel turned to clay With a bubbly turn now the water should churn And push it way from the core And a lady in white will bring sun to the night Brighter than ever before I know she waits below Only to rise on command When she comes for me She's got my life in her hands Lady of the lake There's a magical sound slidin' over the ground Makin' it shiver and shake And a permanent cry fallin' out of the sky Slippery and sly like a snake With a delicate move kind of shifty and smooth A shadow has covered the light Then a beam in the shade from a silvery blade Has shattered the edge of the night Straight down I'm swirling around Blinded and bruised by the strain There must be some way to see Diamonds out of the rain I know she waits below Only to rise on command When she comes for me She's got my life in her hands Lady of the lake

Carry home my broken bones and lay me down to rest Forty days of cries and moans, I guess I've failed to pass the test I've been sent away not a thing to say I'm banished from the fold I'm a fallen angel who's lost his wings and left out in the cold Ooooh L.A. Connection Oh L.A. Connection L.A. Connection Operator place a call keep a secret put it through Investigator knows it all he's at the window I wonder who I've got to cut the line and let me drift, find a haven in the storm I got no time I need a lift to where it's sweet and close and warm Ooooh L.A. Connection Oh L.A. Connection L.A. Connection Carry home my broken bones and lay me down to rest Forty days of cries and moans, well I've just failed the test Feel I'm balanced on the brim, should I lean another way Like a flame that's going on the dim needs blessing from the day Ooooh L.A. Connection Oh take me away I got nothing to say it's got to be an L.A. Connection L.A. Connection Ooooh L.A. Connection Oh L.A. Connection L.A. Connection

Look away from the sea I can take you anywhere Spend a vision with me A chase with the wind Move closer to me I can make you anyone I think you're ready to see The Gates of Babylon The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more A city of heavenly sin Sleep with the Devil and then you must pay Sleep with the Devil the Devil will take you away Oh Gates of Babylon You can see but you're blind Someone turned the sun around But you can see in your mind The Gates of Babylon You're riding the endless caravan Bonded and sold as a slave A sabre dance removing all the veils Getting as good as you gave Sleep with the Devil and then you must pay Sleep with the Devil the Devil will take you away Look away from the sea I can take you anywhere Spend a vision with me A chase with the wind Move closer to me I can make you anyone I think you're ready to see The Gates of Babylon The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more A city of heavenly sin Sleep with the Devil and then you must pay Sleep with the Devil the Devil will take you away Black Gates of Babylon The Devil is me And I'm holding the key To the gates of sweet hell Babylon

I'm like a freight train Feelin' no pain I never turn back, one track Better step aside Like a shotgun I'm really someone You'll feel my heatwave, won't save Anyone near to me I'm steel So come on and try to bend me if you can I don't feel Before you know it it's over Get out of my way I'm street walking, street walking Night stalkin', I'm street walking No reputation You better quick run Cause I got no time, I'll climb All over you You need a strong hand To be a mean man You gotta think fast, I'll last Longer than you could know I'm steel So won't you come and try to bend me if you can I don't feel Before you know it it's over Get out of my way I'm street walking Hey I'm a wild cat Don't need to prove that I'm always howlin', prowlin' Stalkin' my prey It could be your night To feel the dogbite And hear the slashin', crashin' Tearin' inside of you I'm steel So come on and try to bend me if you cab Like a wheel About to roll you over Get out of my way I'm street walking, street walking No talkin', street walking Night stalkin', street walking No talkin', I'm street walking Street walking, night stalkin' Street walking, street walking

I was feelin' rather good Should've touched some wood Here she comes again Reaching out to bend my ear She's worth another look All the time it took Pleasin' to the eye How can I just disappear It ain't clear She's a bright and shining star But I just must be sensitive to light Oh I just might I could have let her in Give her just a spin Let her think it's love Better rise above it all She's knockin' at the door Seems to want some more Never gets the clue What am I to do, she'll fall And she might call, oh no She's a bright and shining star But I just must be sensitive to light She could do me well I can always tell She's ready for the kill But I think that I will go Sure I'm gonna see Something just for me Till it comes along When it's feeling wrong I know Gotta take it slow She's a bright and shining star But I just must be sensitive to light She's a bright and blazing star But I just must be sensitive to light

She's been gone since yesterday Oh I didn't care Never cared for yesterdays Fancies in the air No sighs or mysteries She lay golden in the sun No broken harmonies But I've lost my way She had rainbow eyes Rainbow eyes Rainbow eyes Love should be a simple blend A whispering on the shore No clever words you can't defend They lead to never more No sighs or mysteries She lay golden in the sun No broken harmonies But I've lost my way She had rainbow eyes Rainbow eyes Rainbow eyes Summer nights are colder now They've taken down the fair All the lights have died somehow Or were they ever there No sighs or mysteries She lay golden in the sun No broken harmonies But I've lost my way She had rainbow eyes Rainbow eyes Rainbow eyes
