0:14You wake up in a different bed
0:16Forgotten every word you said
0:19Do you recognise the person next to you
0:25You're sneeking down the backroom stairs
0:28Braving all ihe public stares
0:31What's a living legend supposed to do
0:36I've been told that you're looking old
0:41But you're still appearing well preserved to me
0:47Let them stare let them lose their hair
0:52'Cos you've seen the movie read the book
0:55You've been there done that set that look for free
1:01You keep trying but you just can't win
1:07You keep breathlng but the air's too thin
1:12Keep knocking but you can't come in
1:18Keep trying but you just can't win
1:24Looking at your works of art
1:27Banging your peroxide heart
1:30You get them in a lucky bag for free
1:35You said you couldn't live without it
1:38So what you gonna do about it
1:41Nostalgia's not the game it used to be
1:47And I've been told about your bands of gold
1:51But I have to say they cut no ice with me
1:58Silver chains that dangle down
2:03And you're tryin' hard to beat the clock
2:06Dressed up shouting long live rock & roll
2:12You keep trying but you just can't win
2:17You keep breathing but the air's too thin
2:23Keep knocking but you can't come in
2:28Keep trying but you just can't win
3:00You keep trying but you just can't win
3:05You keep breathing but the air's too thin
3:11Keep knocking but you can't come in
3:17Keep trying but you just can't win
3:22You keep trying but you just can't win
3:28You keep breathing but the air's too thin
3:33Keep knocking but you can't come in
3:39Keep trying but you just can't win
3:45You keep trying but you just can't win
3:50You keep breathing but the air's too thin
3:56Keep knocking but you can't come in
4:02Keep trying but you just can't win
4:08Keep trying Keep trying now
You wake up in a different bed Forgotten every word you said Do you recognise the person next to you You're sneeking down the backroom stairs Braving all ihe public stares What's a living legend supposed to do I've been told that you're looking old But you're still appearing well preserved to me Let them stare let them lose their hair 'Cos you've seen the movie read the book You've been there done that set that look for free You keep trying but you just can't win You keep breathlng but the air's too thin Keep knocking but you can't come in Keep trying but you just can't win Looking at your works of art Banging your peroxide heart You get them in a lucky bag for free You said you couldn't live without it So what you gonna do about it Nostalgia's not the game it used to be And I've been told about your bands of gold But I have to say they cut no ice with me Silver chains that dangle down And you're tryin' hard to beat the clock Dressed up shouting long live rock & roll You keep trying but you just can't win You keep breathing but the air's too thin Keep knocking but you can't come in Keep trying but you just can't win You keep trying but you just can't win You keep breathing but the air's too thin Keep knocking but you can't come in Keep trying but you just can't win You keep trying but you just can't win You keep breathing but the air's too thin Keep knocking but you can't come in Keep trying but you just can't win You keep trying but you just can't win You keep breathing but the air's too thin Keep knocking but you can't come in Keep trying but you just can't win Keep trying Keep trying now
