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
