Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hello you, hello me, hello people we used to be
Isn't it strange we never changed
We've been through it all yet we're still the same
And I know it's a miracle we still go
For all we know we might still have a way to go
[Verse 2]
Hello me, hello you, you say you want out, wanna start anew
Throw in your hand, break up the band
Start a new life, be a new man
But for all we know we might still have a way to go
Before you go there's something you oughta know
[Verse 3]
There's a guy in my block, he lives for rock
He plays records day and night
And when he feels down he puts some rock 'n' roll on
And it makes him feel alright
And when he feels the world is closin' in
He turns his stereo way up high
[Verse 4]
He just spends his life livin' in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life livin' on the edge of reality
He just spends his life livin' in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life livin' in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life livin' on the edge of reality
He just spends his life in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life livin' in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
[Verse 5]
Look at me, look at you, you say we've got nothing left to prove
The king is dead, rock is done
You might be through, but Ive just begun
I don't know, I feel free and I won't let go
Before you go there's something you oughta know
[Verse 6]
Dan is a fan and he lives for our music
It's the only thing that gets him by
You've watched us grow and you've seen all our shows
You've seen us low and you've seen us high
Oh, but you and me keep thinkin'
That the world's just passin' us by
[Verse 7]
Don't wanna spend my life livin' in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
Don't wanna spend my life livin' on the edge of reality
Don't wanna waste my life hidin' away anymore
[Verse 8]
Don't wanna spend my life livin' in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
