The lights are on
The ships have gone
I''m fine and dry and much to my relief

I''m flying high
To beat the sky
And One by One my blues lie underneath

A time to live
A time to die
A time to open up your eyes and see

I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world

Why waste time
To find the place
When all the time the world was mine to keep

A time to live
A time to die
A time to open up your eyes and see

Rocks and stones
and breaking bones
The fits, the shakes, he tries to get some sleep

I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world

Hold your breath
And count to ten
So good to be so fucked up... oh yeah!

I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
I''m in love with the rock ''n'' roll world
