[Verse 1]
I was a young man when I died
I was a flash, I was full of pride
I gave it all, I gave my soul, I was so strong
I felt the truth, I felt the pain in every song
[Chorus]
How well you know me
You've seen me cry
I'm just a shadow
In a rock and roll sky
[Verse 2]
I was living in a rock and roll sky
I was a king, heavy on the style
Super Trouper, yes I know you well, making me shine
I couldn't see what you did to me. I was so blind
[Chorus]
How well you know me
You've seen me cry
I'm just a shadow
In a rock and roll sky
[Verse 3]
I want to be like I was before
But this time I'm going to know the score
I need a home I can leave behind knowing you're there
Super Trouper, I can see you now, return your stare
[Chorus]
How well you know me
You've seen me cry
I'm just a shadow
In a rock and roll sky
