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, and for all we know We might still have a way to go

Hello me, hello you, you say you want out Want to 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 ought to know

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 closing in He turns his stereo way up high

He just spends his life, living in a rock ’n’ roll fantasy He just spends his life, living on the edge of reality He just spends his life, in a rock ’n’ roll fantasy He just spends his life, living in a rock ’n’ roll fantasy He just spends his life, living on the edge of reality He just spends his life, in a rock ’n’ roll fantasy He just spends his life, livingt in a rock ’n’ roll fantasy

Look at me, look at you You say you’ve got nothing left to prove The king is dead, rock is done You might be through but I’ve just begun I don’t know, I feel free and I won’t let go Before you go, there’s something you ought to know

Dan is a fan and he lives for our music It’s the only thing that gets him by He’s watched us grow and he’s seen all our shows He’s seen us low and he’s seen us high Oh, but you and me keep thinking That the world’s just passing us by

Dont’ want to spend my life, living in a rock ’n’ roll fantasy Don’t want to spend my life living on the edge of reality Don’t want to waste my life, hiding away anymore Don’t want to spend my life, living in a rock ’n’ roll fantasy...
