A Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Lyrics by The Kinks

Misfits

1978

[Verse 1: Ray Davies]
Hello you, hello me, hello people we used to be
Isn't it strange, we never change
We've been through it all yet we're still the same
And I know it's a miracle, we still go, and for all we know
We might still have a way to go
[Verse 2: Ray Davies]
Hello me, hello you, you say you want out
Want to start anew, throw in your hand
Break up the band, start a new life, be a new man
But for all we know, we might still have a way to go
Before you go, there's something you ought to know
[Verse 3: Ray Davies]
There's a guy on my block, he lives for rock
He plays records day and night
And when he feels down, he puts some rock 'n' roll on
And it makes him feel all right
And when he feels the world is closing in
He turns his stereo way up high
[Verse 4: Ray Davies]
He just spends his life, living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life, living on the edge of reality
He just spends his life, in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life, living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life, living on the edge of reality
He just spends his life, in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life, living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
[Verse 5: Ray Davies]
Look at me, look at you
You say you've got nothing left to prove
The King is dead, rock is done
You might be through but I've just begun
I don't know, I feel free and I won't let go
Before you go, there's something you ought to know
[Verse 6: Ray Davies]
Dan is a fan and he lives for our music
It's the only thing that gets him by
He's watched us grow and he's seen all our shows
He's seen us low and he's seen us high
Oh, but you and me keep thinking
That the world's just passing us by
[Verse 7: Ray Davies]
Don't want to spend my life, living in a rock 'n' rol fantasy
Don't want to spend my life, living on the edge of reality
Don't want to waste my life, hiding away anymore
Don't want to spend my life, living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
