| Down at the Astoria the scene was changing
|
| Bingo and rock were pushing out X-rating
|
| We were the first band to vomit in the bar
|
| And find the distance to the stage too far
|
| Meanwhile it’s getting late at ten o’clock
|
| Rock is dead they say
|
| Long live rock.
|
| Long live rock, I need it every night
|
| Long live rock, come on and join the line
|
| Long live rock, be it dead or alive
|
| People walk in sideways pretending that they’re leaving
|
| We put on our makeup and work out all the lead-ins
|
| Jack is in the alley selling tickets made in Hong Kong
|
| Promoter’s in the pay box wondering where the band’s gone
|
| Back in the pub the governor stops the clock
|
| Rock is dead, they say
|
| Long live rock
|
| Long live rock, I need it every night
|
| Long live rock, come on and join the line
|
| Long live rock, be it dead or alive
|
| Landslide, rocks are falling
|
| Falling down 'round our very heads
|
| We tried but you were yawning
|
| Look again, rock is dead, rock is dead, rock is dead
|
| The place is really jumping to the Hiwatt amps
|
| 'Til a 20-inch cymbal fell and cut the lamps
|
| In the blackout they dance right into the aisle
|
| And as the doors fly open even the promoter smiles
|
| Someone takes his pants off and the rafters knock
|
| Rock is dead, they say
|
| Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock
|
| Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock
|
| Long live rock, long live rock, long live rock
|
| Long live rock, I need it every night
|
| Long live rock, come on and join the line
|
| Long live rock, be it dead or alive |
