aus dem Album: Mott

Songtext:
(ian hunter/overend watts/mick ralphs/verden allen/dale griffin) Klebefolie drucken

I changed my name in search of fame
To find the midas touch
Oh i wish i'd never wanted then Druckerei Leverkusen
What i want now twice as much
We crossed the mighty oceans
And we had a few divides
But we never crossed emotion frau holle
For we felt too much inside

You know all the tales we tell
You know the band so well Herz basteln
Still i feel, somehow, we let you down
We went off somewhere on the way
And now i see we have to pay
The rock'n'roll circus is in town Foxtrotter

Buffin lost his child-like dreams
And mick lost his guitar
And verden grew a line or two Immobilien Franchise
And overend's just a rock'n'roll star
Behind these shades the visions fade
As i learn a thing or two
Oh but if i had my time again
You all know just what i'd do

Rock'n'roll's a loser's game
It mesmerises and i can't explain
The reasons for the sights and for the sounds
We went off somewhere on the way
And now i see we have to pay
The rock'n'roll circus is in town

So rock'n'roll's a loser's game
It mesmerises and i can't explain
The reasons for the sights and for the sounds
The greasepaint still sticks to my face
So what the hell, i can't erase
The rock'n'roll feeling from my mind

From my mind...from my mind...from my mind
From my miiiiiind...from my miiiiind...from my miiiiiiiiind
From my miiiiiiiiiiiind
