Veteran Cosmic Rocker - The Moody Blues

The lights go down

The stage is set

The man in the wings breaks out in sweat

A backstage joker spiked his coke

While the dressing room was full of smoke

A crowd of fools got him high

He’s afraid he’s gonna die

He’s the apple of their eye

He steps into the remaining light

The crowd go wild

He’s outa sight

Arms held high in the sign of peace

His manager singned the one night lease

The house is full getting high

He’s afraid he’s gonna die

He’s the apple of their eye

(He struts, he strolls)

(His love is rock 'n' roll)

He’s the veteran c cosmic rocker

He steps into the remaining light

The crowd go wild

He’s outa sight

Arms held high in the sign of peace

His manager signed the one night lease

The crowd are full getting high

He’s afraid he’s gonna die

He’s the apple of their eye

(He struts, he strolls)

(His life is rock 'n' roll)

He’s the veteran cosmic rocker

He’s afraid that he will die
