[Verse 1]
I cannot wake in the morning
I cannot sleep at night
I got a pain in my memory
That just will not sit right
You might say I am losing my mind
What a shame, shame, shame
But I do not want and I do not need
To play the crying game
Music lights this flame in me
I will not let it go and it will not let me be
I am just a happy slave and oh I cannot leave it
Because I am still, and I always will - be a believer

[Chorus]
Still burning (yeah)
Still yearning (and the wheel's)
Still turning (ooh let me tell you why)
We are jiving (and the beat's)
Still driven (and we are all)
Sky diving (rock and roll never die)

[Verse 2]
I cannot breathe in the city
Got dust in my lungs
I get mad in the country
Everything seem to go wrong
You might think I am playing around
But my heart is true
I got reason to believe
That sweet soul magic
Going to tear my heart in two
Music makes the world go round
I have been flying on the wings of the sound
It feels so good from way up here
I am still a believer
Heading for the stars

[Chorus]
Oh yeah
Still burning, still yearning
Still burning
Still yearning
Still turning (better than every guy)
We are jiving
Still driving
Sky diving (rock and roll never die)

[Verse 3]
Do not say that you love me I cannot go that road
But do not think for a moment that my heart went cold
I keep thinking about what I lost
And what I might have found
I went to sleep and when I woke
Everything had turned around

[Chorus]
Still burning (yeah)
Still yearning
Still turning (a new day dawning)
We are jiving
Still driving
Sky diving (early in the morning)

[Chorus]
Still burning (yeah)
Still yearning (and the wheel's)
Still turning (better than every guy)
We are jiving (and the beat's)
Still driving (and we are all)
Sky diving (rock and roll never die)

Formed in 1970, Queen was a British rock band whose classic line-up consisted of Freddie Mercury on lead vocals and piano, Brian May on lead guitar, Roger Taylor on drums, and John Deacon on bass. Although Mercury and May wrote the bulk of the band’s material, all four contributed to the songwriting, churning out huge hits. Initially a progressive rock band with strong metal influences, their sound evolved dramatically over time. The band went on to refine, if not define “stadium rock,” as they grew to become one of the most beloved rock bands of all time.

Their early progressive phase spawned epic tracks like “March of the Black Queen” and one international hit “Killer Queen.” But it was their 1975 track “Bohemian Rhapsody” which catapulted the group to super-stardom. The song reigned at #1 on the UK charts for nine weeks and has since been praised as one of the greatest songs of all time

Moving away from their album-orientated sound, the band only grew in popularity with such songs as November 1976’s “Somebody to Love,” October 1977’s “We Are the Champions,” January 1979’s “Don’t Stop Me Now,” June 1980’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” January 1984’s “Radio Ga Ga,” and many more. These songs are so beloved that a musical based on the band’s discography, titled We Will Rock You, became one of West-End’s longest-running shows with a 12-year run through May 2014—and more events being featured internationally, as well.
