Lyrics of Ballad of mott

I changed my name in search of fame to find the midas touch
Oh i wish i'd never wanted then what i want now, twice as much
We crossed the mighty oceans and we had a few divides
But we never crossed emotion, for we felt too much inside

You know all the tales we tell, you know the band so well
Still i feel, somehow, we let you down
We went off somewhere on the way and now i see we have to pay
The rock n' roll circus is in town

Buffin' lost his child-like dreams and mick lost his guitar
And verden grew a line or two and overend's just a rock n' roll star
Behind these shades, the visions fade, as i learn a thing or two
Oh but if i had my time again you all know just what i'd do

Rock n' roll's a loser's game, it mesmerizes and i can't explain
The reasons for the sights and for the sounds
We went off somewhere on the way and now i see we have to pay
The rock n' roll circus is in town

So rock n' roll's a loser's game, it mesmerizes and i can't explain
The reasons for the sights and for the sounds
The greasepaint still sticks to my face, so what the hell i can't erase
The rock n' roll feeling from my mind

From my mind
From my mind
From my mind
