Lyrics: Moody Blues. Long Distance Voyager. Veteran Cosmic Rocker.

The lights go down, the stage is set
A 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 out of sight
Arms held high in a sign of peace
His manager signed a 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 and roll
He's the veteran cosmic rocker!

He steps into the remaining light
The crowd go wild, he's out of sight
Arms held high in a sign of peace
His manager signed a 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 and roll
He's the veteran cosmic rocker!

He's afraid that he will die!
