Rock'n roll idol so they say
People came from miles to hear him play
Someone took the rock'n roll away
Now he's idle everyday

Mr. Rock'n roll
It's taken a toll on you
Well, you're starting to fade
And you're losing control
Of what you do
Mr. Rock'n roll
They're turning away at the door
All the people have gone
And you won't hear the shouting no more

Making music sing and rise
Look so good and sense so fine
But it was hard for him to see
From his world of make believe

Mr. Rock'n roll
It's taken a toll on you
Well, you're starting to fade
And you're losing control of what you do
Mr. Rock'n roll
They're turning away at the door
All the people have gone
And you won't hear the shouting no more

And as the lights fade
You thought ya had it made
Now you're just a memory
Now you're just a memory
