Long Live Rock'n'Roll

(Blackmore/Dio)

All right!
Rock and roll

At the end of a dream if you know where I mean
When the mist just starts to clear
In a similar way at the end of today
I can 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 screaming in my mind

Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Let it live

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 screaming in my mind

Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
I'm losing control

Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Look you

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 screaming through the air

Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Let it live, let it live, let it live

Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Banners held high with a curse and cry and it's

Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
You feel it down, spread it 'round, make a sound, it's got to be

Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Live, live, live, live

Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Let it live, let it live, let it live, let it live
