Lyrics
Let me tell you a story
Introduction to a narrative or tale
'Bout a fact you may not know
Revealing an unfamiliar fact
Listen carefully fellas
Urging attention for important information
As at the end of a show
Describing a situation after a performance
Even things that glitter
Appearances can hide unknown aspects
Got a side... unknown
Even attractive things have hidden sides
Driving miles and miles heading for the sun
Traveling towards success or positivity
All along main roads in an old black van
Traveling on well-known routes in difficult circumstances
Going town to town with no time to rest
Continuous movement without rest
Doing all for fun and giving the best
Committing to enjoyment and giving one's best
That's right!
Affirmation of a preceding statement
You've been waiting for
Anticipation for something
Oh, and you've got it
Confirmation of receiving something
Now it's time for
Transitioning to an awaited phase
Dark side of rock 'n' roll
Repetition of the title emphasizing the hidden or less glamorous side of rock 'n' roll
Dark side of rock 'n' roll
-Dark side of rock 'n' roll
-When the party's over all covered in sweat
Post-party fatigue and solitude
Every girl is gone with a smile in her face
Reflection on fleeting connections
Now unplug the wires putting out the fire
Ending the performance and packing up
Bringing down the amps from the stage
Disassembling the equipment
Feel the pain in your back while loading the van
Physical strain from the job
You've been waiting for
Anticipation reiterated
Oh, and you've got it
Confirmation of receiving something
Now it's time for
Transitioning to an awaited phase
Dark side of rock 'n' roll
Repetition of the title reinforcing the less glamorous aspects
Dark side of rock 'n' roll
-Dark side of rock 'n' roll
-I told you fella
Reiteration of earlier message
Even things that glitter
Reiteration of the idea of hidden facets
Got a side unknown
Restating the concept of unknown sides
You've been waiting for
Anticipation reiterated
Oh, and you've got it
Confirmation of receiving something
Now it's time for
Transitioning to an awaited phase
Can't stand on my feet at all
Physical exhaustion affecting stability
Dark side of rock 'n' roll
Repetition of the title intensifying the portrayal of the less glamorous aspects of rock 'n' roll
Trembling arms and legs while carrying load
-Dark side of rock 'n' roll
-Many miles to travel until next gig
-Dark side of rock 'n' roll
-Will freaking you out with my riffs and licks
-Dark side of rock 'n' roll
-Dark side of rock 'n' roll
-Dark side of rock 'n' roll
-Dark side of rock 'n' roll
-Dark side of rock 'n' roll
-Dark side of rock 'n' roll
-Dark side of rock 'n' roll
-Dark side of rock 'n' roll
-Dark side of rock 'n' roll!
