Ah, look what they've done to the rock 'n' roll clown
Ah, rock 'n' roll clown, look he's down on the ground
Well, he used to high fly, but he crashed out the sky
In a stardust ring, hey rock 'n' roll king is down
Roll on up, won't you come and take at look at me, ah
Come on, stand in line, just one at a time to see me
See my painted-on grin, as I stand up to sing
In a stardust ring, hey rock 'n' roll king is down
But he's the leader of the band
He's a lonely man
Do you want to take his hand
Yes you know you can
In a stardust ring, hey rock 'n' roll king is down
In a stardust ring, hey rock 'n' roll king is down
In a stardust ring, hey rock 'n' roll king is down...
