  • Ah, look what they've done to the rock 'n' roll clown
    Ah, rock 'n' roll clown, look he's dead on the ground
    Well he used to high fly but he crashed out the sky
    In a Stardust fling, hey rock 'n roll king is down

    Roll on up, won't you come and take a look at me, oh
    Come on, stand in line, just one at a time and see me
    See my painted-on grin as I stand up to sing
    In a stardust fling, hey rock 'n' roll king is down

    But he's the leader of the band
    He is a lonely man
    Don't you wanna take his hand
    Yes you know you can

    Well I used to high fly but I crashed out the sky
    In a Stardust fling, hey rock 'n? roll king is down [Repeat: x3] Writer/s: David Essex
