If I could stick my pen in my heart,
I would spill it all over the stage.
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya,
would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange?
If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
a love song so divine,
would it be enough for your cheating heart
if I broke down and cried? If I cried?
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it.

It's Only Rock 'N Roll (But I Like It)

If I could stick my pen in my heart
And spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange?
If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
A love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried? If I cried?
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it

On Thursday night she looked a fright
her pricki hair all curled, oh Lord, what a sight
Dance, dance, little sister, dance
On Friday night she's all decked out
her high heel shoes, her dress so tight
Dance, dance little sister, dance

On Saturday night she bass-a-dee
she stepping high on Frederick's Street
Dance, dance, little sister, dance

Fingerprint file, you get me down,
you keep me running,
know my way around. Yes, you do, child
Fingerprint file, you bring me down
Keep me running,
You keep me on the ground,
know my moves,
way ahead of time,
listening to me
on your satellite

Feeling followed,
feeling tagged,
crossing water,
trying to wipe my tracks

And there's some little jerk in the FBI

The band's on stage and it's one of those nights, oh yeah,
the drummer thinks that he is dynamite, oh yeah
You lovely ladies in your leather and lace,
a thousand lips I would love to taste,
I got one heart and it hurts like hell,
if you can't rock me somebody will,
if you can't rock me somebody will

Now who's that black girl in the bright blue hair, oh yeah,

If you really want to be my friend,
let me live it up like I used to do.
If you really want to understand me,
there's some giving up we got to do.
I know ev'rybody wants to be your man;
I don't want to tie you up, go ahead, you're free.
And I never want to scar you with my brand;
we could live it up, just a you and me.

If you really want to understand a man;

I want a real fine car, fly Miami too;
all the rum, I want to drink it, all the whiskey too.
My woman need a new dress, my daughter got to go to school;
I'm working so hard, I'm working for the company.
I'm working so hard to keep you in the luxury.

And you can't call me lazy on a seven day a week;
make a million for the Texans, twenty dollar me.

Too bad she's got you by the balls,
you can't get free at all.
She's got your name,
she's got your number;
you're screamin'
like thunder,
and you can't get away from it all.
It's too bad, she's got you by the balls,
you can't break loose at all.
She's got your name,
she's got your number;
you're screamin' like thunder,
and you're trapped like a rat in a hole.

Honey, is there any place that you would like to eat?
I know a coffee shop down on Fifty Second Street.
And I don't need no fancy food and
I don't need no fancy wine.
And I sure don't need the tears you cry.
Till the next time we say goodbye,
till the next time we say goodbye,
till the next time we say goodbye,
I'll be thinking of you,
I'll be thinking of you.

Yes, star crossed in pleasure the stream flows on by.
Yes, as we're sated in leisure, we watch it fly.
And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me.
And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me.

Time can tear down a building or destroy a woman's face.
Hours are like diamonds, don't let them waste.

Time waits for no one, no favours has he.

Sun turnin' 'round with graceful motion
We're setting off with soft explosion
Bound for a star with fiery oceans
It's so very lonely, you're a hundred light years from home

Freezing red deserts turn to dark
Energy here in every part
It's so very lonely, you're six hundred light years from home

It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home
