It was starting to rain
On the night that they first decided
It was blinding with snow
On the night that they ran away
They were found in the dark
But they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door
BANG! Yeah!
She was meant to be wild
He was nearly a child
But they only could feel each other
They were paper and fire
Angel and liar
The devil of one another
Then they were thrown to the ground
With a terrible sound
Just like somebody broke a heart
Rock'n'roll children
Alone again
Rock'n'roll children
Without a friend
But they got rock'n'roll!!!
It was starting to rain
On the night that they cried forever
Oh it was blinding with snow
On the night that they screamed goodbye
They were lost in the dark
And they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door
Ah rock'n'roll children!
Alone again
Rock'n'roll children
Without a friend
Poor rock'n'roll children!
Caught up in the spinning wheel
Poor rock'n'roll children
Alone again
It was starting to rain
On the night that they ran
It was blinding with snow
On the night we let them go
Poor rock'n'roll children!
Oh oh children
Rock'n'roll children!
Children of the night
Poor rock'n'roll children!
Poor children lost poor souls
Rock'n'roll children!
Oh ho oh ho oh ho
(Fade out)
