I met his highness at the crossroads He spilled a lick of Lucy on my tongue I said take my life it might as well be over He said oh my son your life has just begun We drove to Hotel California He spoke about a great gig in the sky Said I can promise money fame and fortune And honey all you have to do is sign I want to know what it feels like To be young and on top of the world I sold my soul to the devil himself To get lost on a yellow brick road He said baby that's just rock n' roll You can pray to God for your salvation Deliver us from evil, sex and drugs But the riches on thе wrong side of the table Will havе you dead before you've had enough You can build a stairway up to heaven And tell yourself you're happy for a while But meet me at the end of 27 And I'll show you what it really means to smile I want to know what it feels like To be young and on top of the world I sold my soul to the devil himself To get lost on a yellow brick road He said baby, that's just rock n' roll I want to know what it feels like To be young and on top of the world I sold my soul to the devil himself To get lost on a yellow brick road He said baby, that's just rock n' roll He said baby, that's just rock n' roll
