But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin’ high I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell before you get to heaven
In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there’ll be Hell to pay
Ornamental
Or warm and gentle
Can you tell Heaven from Hell
As you will some day
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there’s a rock n’ roll heaven
Well you know they’ve got a hell of a band, band, band
Its all part of my rock 'n roll fantasy
Its all part of my rock 'n roll dream
So forget all that you see
It’s not reality (it’s just a fantasy)
Can’t you see what this crazy life is doing to me?
Life is just a fantasy, can you live this fantasy life
Life is just a fantasy, can you live this fantasy life
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality
Once in a while, in my mind I go bumming
Going to nowhere, with no worry of time
Running along chasing after a train
Humming a song in the sun and the rain
Leaving the straight life behind
Ease it down,
Come in out of the rain,
To a better place,
Sleaze is all you know,
That with causing you pain,
It’s all you’ll ever know
The rain that brings you here
Is Heaven blessed!
The skies begin to clear
And I’m at rest
A breath away from where you are
I’ve come home from so far
After the rain
Though you can’t see it now
The sun never sets
It always knows
What you sometimes forget
The sun will shine again
After the rain
It’s dark as a dungeon
And damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double
And the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls
And the sun never shines
It’s dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mines
Hi, ho, hi, ho, it’s off to work we go!
You know that I would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I were to say to you
Girl, we couldn’t get much higher
Fears from the fire
Twist and burn
Born to lead at breakneck speed
With high octane we’re spitting flames
Freewheel burning
Freewheel burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Come along, won’t you come along home now.
Night is fallin’ and the path is steep.
Come along, won’t you come along home now.
Water’s runnin’ and the river is deep.
Within there’s every little memory resting calm in me
Resting in a dream, smiling back at me
The faces of the past keep calling me to come back home
To caress the river with awe
Somewhere like a scene from a memory
There’s a picture worth a thousand words
Eluding stares from faces before me
It hides away and will never be heard of again
Deceit is the second without end
