Rock N' Roll Cliche

I'm straining my ears to listen
To those words that Lennon said
Trying to find Nirvana
But I can't clear my head

I'm wandering in circles
Searching for that Paradise City
But my head and clothes are in tatters
And my face, it ain't so pretty

Livin' on the edge
And on a prayer
I long for your Kiss
When you're not there
No-one but you
Can make me feel whole
But baby there's something
You really should know...

I'm a rock n' roll cliche
And I can't find the words to say
So I'll reach out to the stars
Better them than me anyway...

I'm hiding behind the wall now
Burning in doubt, drowning in pain
I can't get no satisfaction
From that cold November Rain

Need a whole lotta love
But I'm so estranged
Out here on my own
And it's too late to change
Does this sound familiar?
Well it goes to show
You've heard it all before
I told you so...

I'm a rock n' roll cliche
And I can't find the words to say
So I'll reach out to the stars
Better them than me anyway...
