lyrics

The stage lights dawn upon me
Calling me to bask in their glow

"What would you give to be
Subject to those adoring eyes?"

I have dreamed of a life complete
Surrounded by the throngs who will understand me

"The power is there for you to claim
All it takes is for you to sign your name"

I sold my soul to rock and roll
For the chance to be the one to win the crowd
I sold my soul to rock and roll
For the chance to be free
But all I have done is placed myself in chains

"Surely the shackles are a price that you gladly have paid
Escape from obscurity, wealth, fame, all know your name
See the contract signed and sealed!"

The thrill of the stage, a desire I could not contain
Now my life is dictated by the rules of your games
Let me go (no can do), let me out (how could I)
Let me/(you) go

"The contract is writ; your life belongs to me now!"
Perhaps I could run away, make a break for it
"You bask in the light; you cannot escape from my sight"
I’ve got the will to survive; I can make it
"Hide if you want but you cannot escape your desires"
I’ll start over now, time to take a bow

(I sold my soul to rock and roll
For the chance to win the crowd)
No more compromise
(I sold my soul to rock and roll
For the chance to be free)
I will earn my place!

"So you’ve gone on your own
Forsaking the shortcut to regain your soul"

The stage lights are calling me still
One day I hope to see them again

I sold my soul to rock and roll
I sold my soul to rock and roll
I sold my soul to rock and roll
I sold my soul to rock and roll
