Uneasy feeling, burning out my eyes I hope the end is less painful than my life I stand on trial before the gods on Judgement Day A blink of an eye between the cradle and the grave One last look at visions of flesh The last best hope of man on the earth Pontius Pilate still washing his hands The world don't want to be saved, only left alone Elysian fields - We are storming the heavens Elysian fields - We raise the swords and shields Elysian fields - We ascend to our destiny Elysian fields - To the Elysian fields Soaring to the sun with blood upon their wings Superstitious dust left twisting in the wind Man still has one belief, one decree that stands alone The laying down of arms is like cancer to their bones One last look at visions of flesh The last best hope of man on the earth Pontius Pilate still washing his hands The world don't want to be saved, only left alone Elysian fields - We are storming the heavens Elysian fields - We raise the swords and shields Elysian fields - We ascend to our destiny Elysian fields - To the Elysian fields Elysian fields - We are storming the heavens Elysian fields - We raise the swords and shields Elysian fields - We ascend to our destiny Elysian fields - To the Elysian fields Elysian fields - We are storming the heavens Elysian fields - To raise the swords and shields Elysian fields - We ascend to our destiny Elysian fields - To the Elysian fields

I remember '62 I was sixteen and so were you And we lived next door On the avenue Jerry Lee was big and Elvis too Blue jeans and blue suede shoes And we never knew What life held in store. We just wanted to rock 'n' roll forever more We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids And rock 'n' roll was all we did And listening to those songs on the radio I was yours and you were mine But that was once upon a time Now we never seem to rock 'n' roll anymore Now Johnny's in love with the girl next door And Mary's down at the record store They don't want to be... around us no more "Golden Oldies" but we hardly speak Too busy running to a different beat Hard to understand, we were once like them How I wish we could find those rock 'n' roll days again We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids And rock 'n' roll was all we did And listening to those songs on the radio I was yours and you were mine But that was once upon a time Now we never seem to rock and roll anymore I was yours and you were mine That was once upon a time Now we never seem to rock and roll We just never seem to rock and roll anymore
