Last night I had a dream You were whacked out on coke and speed The smoke had stained your teeth You were so rushed you could hardly speak It made me so sad to see you Looking so old Is this what happiness is like when it's taken its toll?
But this is never the life I thought you aspired to believe Oh, what has rock and roll led you to believe? This is never the life I thought you aspired to lead Oh, what has rock and roll led you to believe?
I saw you the other day I just wanted to sit and talk a while I missed you so much it's like I wanted life to be confirmed by your smile And it made me so sad to see you Looking so old Is this what happiness is like when it's taken it's toll?
But this is never the life I thought you aspired to lead Oh, what has rock and roll led you to believe? This is never the life I thought you aspired to lead Oh, what has rock and roll led you to believe?
