Said she came from memphis
You can look but please don't touch
Didn't like rock and rollers
Seemed a bit much too much

* cause it's the natural thing you feel at the start
Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, you get at the start
Then she'll never let you go
Hey girl, now does it feel alright think I'm gettin' through
Don't you think the band's real tight wait til we start to move

** may sound funny but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny but you gave it to me
And now I got to live without it

I been down to atlanta
Got to move my feet
Gettin' down for the last encore
With every star she meets

* repeat
** repeat
** repeat

Why'd you do it, why'd you do it

. . .


*
Lady love to hang on
Played it like a real intellectual
Sweet sister your still shaking
And your tragedy is never ending
Silver shoes you're wearing
Every window there you've ever stared in
Over my head, over my head

Sidewalks of the city
Every theater there you've ever played
Your comic book impersonations
Louise fazenda and buster keaton
Over my head, so it's all

** out in the street for just one more matinee
Yes, your vaudeville carries on
So put a smile in front your man can see
Yes, your vaudeville carries on


** repeat
* repeat

Who's taking time out, we'll take a shine out
We're the boys we got nothing to lose
I've had enough now of school and stuff now
If you ain't with us then it's just bad news

Only you can rock me rock me
Come on back now d o it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kicking out just like a hurrican3

We can't wait from day to day
'cause we've got something to say
We can't wait from day to day
'cause we've got something to say

Come on the street now on every corner
Breaking out and we're doing what we want to
Just like a jewel shines in the night
She burns so hot out under the street light

Chorus

We are here and there's no end
We keep on coming again
We are here and there's no end

We just keep coming again

Who's taking time out, we take a shine out
We're the boys we got nothing to lose
I've had enough now of school

And stuff now
If you ain't with us then it's just bad news

Only you can rock me, rock me
Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kickin' out just like a hurricane

We can't wait from day to day
'cause we've got something to say
We are here and there's no end
We'll keep on coming again

We can't wait from day to day
'cause we've got something to say
We are here and there's no end
We'll keep on coming again

. . .


Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in

She walked up to me and really stole my heart
And then she started to take my body apart

Living, loving, I'm on the run, far away from you
Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you

Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going fast
Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going fast

It's only just a moment, she's turning paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy

Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in

But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strain and I can't take any more

Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you
Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you

Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going fast
Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor

. . .


*
Try to make some changes really on the line
Given your religion, never ever time
All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor
Mothers understand it, baby needs some more

Head held up to ransom, by a quick hand and a gun
Just your education, hard to understand
Will the teenage legend make a mark on you
Make a big time status, with a pen we'll stab it through

**
Mother mary could you ever really feel the same
And would you try to understand a wild colonial boy

* Repeat
** Repeat

This Kid's

[No lyrics]

Oh it's been too many times and I can't go back
Night bars, guitars, rundown motels like shacks
What it mounts up to I don't want it at all
Lost you and I want you today

* misty green and blue
Love to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Love to love to love you

To be something, to be with you
Don't say that you'll never know
Love to love to love you

Half the time it could seem funny
The other half is just too sad
This west bound moon's they rise and fall
Lost you and I want you today

* repeat

To be something, to be near you
I don't know where I'm goin' to
I've tried and I need you to stay

. . .


Wind blows back and the batons charging
It winds all the way
Right to the butt of my gun
Maybe now your time has come

From the back streets there's a rumbling
Smell of anarchy
No more nice time, black boy shoe shines
Pie in the sky dreams

Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
Better now you know we'll never wait till tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
God knows when I'm coming on (my) run

Heaven help those who help themselves
That's the way it goes
The frightening thoughts of what's been taught
And now it shows

Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
Better now you know we'll never wait till tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
God knows when I'm coming on (my) run

Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
Better now you know we'll never wait till tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
God knows when I'm coming on (my) run

You keep coming, there's no running
Tried a thousand times
Under your feet grass is growing
Time we said goodbye

Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
Better now you know we'll never wait till tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
God knows when I'm coming on (my) run

Lights out, lights out in London
Lights out, lights out in London

Seventeen, a Natchez queen
Oh you know what I mean
Twenty one, I hnow that you can
See the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful
Lyin' there asleep
With the wings of god above you
Before the spirits meet

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Shadow earth is closin' in
Above the lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin'
Down for you to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by
The hands on your clock
Heaven's don't just open
When you can knock

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Wall of darkness closin' in
Will the light reveal your soul
Just one sweet kiss
On your clay cold lips
Long, long sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go
Where do we go from here

[Solo]

Seventeen, a Natchez queen
Oh you know what I mean
Twenty one, I hnow that you can
See the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful
Lyin' there asleep
With the wings of god above you
Before the spirits meet

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

. . .


Caught in the crossfire, warnin' fight
Legends make or break game
Swept up by the rolling waves of the night
The paper chase for fame

I was too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I was too, too hot
Too hot to handle

Wink of an eye, the feelings ran high
A real rock and roll molest
But I ain't no romance
And I ain't no slow chance
Won't get no quick change

And I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle

Sha la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
Sha la la la , keep on coming
Do it once but never the same

Sha la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
Sha la la la , keep on coming
Do it once but never the same

Sha la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
Sha la la la , keep on coming
Do it once but never the same

I'm in your town, won't fool around
I'll make some action stick
Just like the story says, these boys are bad
So keep out of shootin' range

And I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby

And I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby

. . .


Last train's eleven, it's now quarter past
Why're you tryin' to make the evenin' move so fast
I'm in real trouble but I can't go back home
They locked the doors and I'm left out alone

* you can come to my place and sleep on the couch
Lots of people do it and we won't leave you out
Hard times out on the street
Hard times, hard to beat

** the painted lies they all hand you
I'm a loser on the road
I'm a loser on the road, yeah

Euston station and it's cold as ice
Ali night specials, they move you on
But me and ginger over there
We got this thing where we really take care

* repeat
** repeat

I'm a loser, I'm a loser
I'm a loser

. . .


*Cold wide sweet highway the place where we'd all go
Went out like a razor sharp and we'd all let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll, let it go
Let it roll

**She'd skid up, and we really let it down
Laying it out, let it roll

When these wheels get rolling, let them roll right over you
The time will be sound and I'll always put it through
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll

**Repeat

*Repeat

**Repeat

. . .


Was a fast tough woman
Loved to play the clown
You won't do nothing about it
Break a good boy's resistance down

*Know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
She said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me

Convinced me that she was worth it
Never knew I was her kill
And two 45's would do the trick
And pay the bills

*Repeat

**I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Got to get a fast ride out of here
Got to get a fast ride out of here
Got to get a fast ride out of here now

Holding out in my hotel room
Police they finally come
Had her as the prosecution
And my prints upon the gun

*Repeat
**Repeat

. . .


You knock me out you're like a well oiled Smith & Wesson
Hot 'n' Ready, ready to use
Dressed to the nines, you know you don't look 15, there's no question
Hot 'n' Ready, ready to use
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe

Don't need I.D. and there's no house detective to crowd you...
Hot 'n' Ready, ready to use
Slip in the back door and slip out of what ever your into
Hot 'n' Ready, ready to use
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe

I'm coming through, I've gotta get to you babe
I'm coming through, I've gotta get to you babe

. . .


Gotta give you love oh cherry
Dance for me there's only you
Play the barrooms just for pennies
Wish I wasn't just passing through

Tell me your secrets, tell me no one way lyin' now
We are golden , we are golden
And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the highways of thei night I roll alone

On the tabletops she's dancing, sit and smile into your beer
Turn around no cherry for me, let me know you know I'm here
We are golden, we are golden

And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the highways of the night, making it feel all right
Come on cherry let's make it together
Out of the neon and into my life
We can't play this game forever, now.....

Gotta give my love oh cherry, dance for me there' s only you
Play the barrooms just for pennies, wish I wasn't just passing through
Tell me your secrets, tell me no one way lyin' now
We are golden, we are golden
And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the highways of the night I roll alone
