I'll let the music play while love lies softly bleeding 

In heavy hands on shadowlands 

As thunder clouds roll in, sunset is receding 

No summer wine, no Valentine 

  

A tiger trapped inside a cage 

An actor on an empty stage 

Come see the show 

Rock ‘n' roll can heal your soul 

When broken hearts lose all control 

  

Some rivers still run dry and jungles burn to embers 

Gold autumn days must fade to grey 

There is a reason why a haunted man remembers 

One frozen night, his darkest day 

  

A tiger trapped inside a cage 

An actor on an empty stage 

Come see the show 

Rock ‘n' roll will heal your soul 

When broken hearts lose all control 

  

Passion killed by acid rain 

A rollercoaster in my brain 

But, how would you know 

In your satin, silk and lace 

Another time, another place 

  

A tiger trapped inside a cage 

An actor on an empty stage 

Come see the show 

Rock ‘n' roll will heal your soul 

When broken hearts lose all control 

  

A love let loose and painted black 

A train stuck on a broken track 

I'll let it go 

Rock ‘n' roll has healed my soul 

The stage is set, on with the show
