I saw him on the TV show He was a rock'n'roller You know it seems so long ago But the story goes on and on He used to live he used to love He knew the pain from sorrow You'd never dream he'd have to go But the story goes and on Was he caught by a spell, was he burning like hell In a world that was close to madness Was he paying the price, was he fed up with lies In a world that was close to madness The story goes on and on We see the dream they live the scheme They know the morning after It seems an everlasting theme And the story goes on and on Here's to a man who made the grade Here's to a boy that follows Try to avoid the grim parade And the story goes on and on He was caught by a spell, he was burning like hell In a world that was close to madness He was paying the price, he was fed up with lies In a world that was close to madness The story goes on and on The story goes on and on The story goes on and on The story goes on and on
