In Rock (25th Anniversary Edition) lyrics

Good Golly! said little miss Molly
When she was rockin' in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
When she was rockin' to the east and west
Lucille was oh so real
When she didn't do her daddies will
Come on baby drive me crazy, do it, do it
I'm a speed king - You got to hear me sing
I'm a speed king - See me fly

Saturday night and I just got paid
Gonna fool about, ain't gonna save

Gotta black breast Chinese eyes
Got an English brain that's gonna make me wise
Got a long story that I wanna tell
To a rhythm that I know so well
Really got a lotta lovin' that I wanna give
Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live
I tried another but she didn't wanna know
Woaaaah no no no

Take a hold now if you can
Take a lesson from a hard lovin' man
I'm a long way from where I wanna go

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
Line that's drawn between good and bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll
If you been bad - Oh Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit oh by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes aahouh bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
Ooh ooh ooh...

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
Line that's drawn between good and bad

Spread the word around, the rat is leaving town
The message is a song, the misery is gone
Once I had a dream to sing before the Queen
She didn't want to know, she wouldn't see the show
What a fright! I couldn't do it right! Oh what a night!

Mystic demons fly all about the sky
With memories of a clown, the saddest show in town
When I was seventeen my mother said to me

Take the trouble to decide the things you do
Will not be the things that don't appeal to you
See the mess your makin', can't you see your fakin'
Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna... into the fire

Turn on the mandrake that was given to you
See if you can make it like the others do
Feel the blood a-knockin' when you're finger poppin'
Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna... into the fire

You came along for a weekend
But you only stayed for one night
You pulled off your hair, you took out your teeth
Oh I almost died of fright
You'd better do something for your own sake
Yes it's a shame
Ah you know you're a living wreck

You said you were a virgin
Full of promise and mystery
But I know that you would bring me down
'Cos everyone calls you Big G

Break my back with hard lovin'
Take my hand and keep movin'
Don't slow down, we're nearly there now
Oh can you stand the pain
I'm a hard lovin' man

What's your name It's alright now
Trick or treat We're uptight now
Wanna feel ya, I wanna hear ya
Oh here we go again
I'm a hard lovin' man

Come back here, it's not over
Can't you see, there's still time girl
I can last, make it fast now

Good Golly! said little miss Molly
When she was rockin' in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
When she was rockin' to the east and west
Lucille was oh so real
When she didn't do her daddies will
Come on baby drive me crazy, do it, do it
I'm a speed king - You got to hear me sing
I'm a speed king - See me fly

Saturday night and I just got paid
Gonna fool about, ain't gonna save

Pass your mother, lose your brother
Be a lover, too
Well all together make it better
You gotta cry free

Bridges burnin', eyes are turnin'
Now they're learnin' fools
They're gonna talk it over
While they're talkin'
You gotta cry free

Cry free

Fists are shakin', homes are breakin'
Know what's makin' blues
Oh true convictions, satesfaction
While you cry free

Spread the word around, the rat is leaving town
The message is a song, the misery is gone
Once I had a dream to sing before the Queen
She didn't want to know, she wouldn't see the show
What a fright! I couldn't do it right! Oh what a night!

Mystic demons fly all about the sky
With memories of a clown, the saddest show in town
When I was seventeen my mother said to me

Good Golly! said little miss Molly
When she was rockin' in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
When she was rockin' to the east and west
Lucille was oh so real
When she didn't do her daddies will
Come on baby drive me crazy, do it, do it
I'm a speed king - You got to hear me sing
I'm a speed king - See me fly

Saturday night and I just got paid
Gonna fool about, ain't gonna save

Black night is not right
I don't feel so bright
I don't care to sit tight
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

I don't need a dark tree
I don't want a rough sea
I can't feel, I can't see
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
