It was the opening night of a Rock n Roll travelling show And they all were there, I mean the faces everybody knows As the long limbed beauty left the long black limousine The floor was wet as if the devil had prepared the scene A high heel cracks and over she goes We got away with it, theyll never catch us anyway We had the best of it, kids today well they just dont know Hey you remember him, he was the face of 78 He drove a pink sports car straight through his managers gate Yeah the alarms went off, but just a little bit too late As his tyres dug deeper through the lawns of the great estate He drove into the pool and he couldnt escape, no He got away with it, frogmen and cranes raised his legend high They made a song of it, feed the fish to close you die You gotta go for it, someone will always tell you no Fly in the face of it, showbiz folks always put on a show Living the high life big time Living outside the law Living the bright light high time thats what livings for He was a rock god adonis in the big hotel Where they partied all night, every night a different girl Yeah the drugs came in, the money went out, nobody really cared When the candle fell over and the flames lit his bleach blond hair The dude slept through it as the fireball flared. yeah We got away with it, sometimes I stop just to reminisce Right in the thick of it, lips pursed waiting for stardoms kiss We love the smell of it, the fame and fortune is our goal Selfish and spoilt by it, days lived hard slowly taking their toll We got away with it, I got some stories I cant tell But hey theres a book in it, human suffering always sells Always sells
living, high, drove, always, sell
