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
