I was diggin graves with a smile on my face, I was livin over a hole in the ground then Came a day when I found this emotion To wipe me up from face flat on the floor I knew I'd feel that sun again I knew I'd feel something I feel me comin around and when I do You'll see, I've come a long way Every day's another 3 steps back to the door To live the life I lived before 1, 2, 3 I'm at it again, same kid dealing another wish or 10! I hope that filling sight don't go away! It's all for the beautiful panic It's all for the heart and soul of it High scealings hovering over me always! And if it's all I had, I'd end up dead for that old time rock n' roll To feel that fever around me and feel what is cold So tell me those long hard days will be gone I feel that moon light over me, Heaven knows it shines for me Wait around for a day Sometimes great things come that way I hope that filling sight don't go away! It's all for the beautiful panic It's all for the rock n' roll And if it's all I had, I'd end up dead for that old time rock n' roll To feel that fever around me and feel what is cold So tell me those long hard days will be gone
