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 a 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 and roll children, alone again
Rock and roll children, without a friend
But they got rock and 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
On rock and roll children, alone again
Rock and roll children, without a friend
Poor rock and roll children, caught up in the spinning wheel
Poor rock and 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 and roll children
Oh children
Rock and roll children
Children of the night
Poor rock and roll children
Rock and roll
Poor children lost, poor souls
Rock and roll children
Oh yeah
Poor rock and roll children
Rock and roll
Rock and roll children
