The lights go down,
The stage is set.
The man in the wings breaks out in sweat.
A backstage joker spiked his Coke
While the dressing room was full of smoke.
A crowd of fools got him high.
He's afraid he's gonna die.
He's the apple of their eye.
He steps into the remaining light.
The crowd go wild.
He's outa sight.
Arms held high in the sign of peace,
His manager signed the one night lease.
The house is full getting high,
He's afraid he's gonna die.
He's the apple of their eye.
(He struts, he strolls)
(His love is rock 'n' roll)
He's the veteran cosmic rocker.
He steps into the remaining light.
The crowd go wild.
Arms held high in the sign of peace,
His manager signed the one-night lease.
The house is full getting high.
He's afraid he's gonna die.
He's the apple of their eye.
(He struts, he strolls)
(His life is rock 'n' roll)
He's the veteran cosmic rocker.
He's afraid that he will die.
