I’ve been trying to find what’s heavy  
That’s been messing up my mind  
I think I found the answer  
'Cause it was right there all the time

I was alive and I waited, waited  
I was alive and I waited for this  
Right here, right now  
There is no other place I want to be  
Right here, right now  
Watching the world wake up from history

Love to hear percussion  
Love to hear it

They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating  
And from what I’ve seen I believe 'em  
Now the old boy may be barely breathing  
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating

There’s always something magic…  
There’s always something new.  
And when you really, really need it the most,  
That’s when rock and roll dreams come through,  
For you.

_(incidentally, Angelina Jolie plays the part of the runaway teenager in the music video I linked to)_

I dig rock and roll music  
I could really get it on in that scene  
I think I could say somethin’ if you know what I mean  
But if I really say it  
The radio won’t play it  
Unless I lay it between the lines

Life is a rock,  
But the radio rolled me.  
Gotta turn it up louder,  
So my DJ told me.

Life is a rock,  
But the radio rolled me.  
At the end of my rainbow  
Lies a golden oldie.

A hot summer night fell like a net  
I’ve gotta find my baby yet  
I need you to soothe my head  
Turn my blue heart to red

No pill’s gonna cure my ill  
I’ve got a bad case of lovin’ you

_(you should hear me do this one at karaoke night)_

**Hot August night**  
And the leaves hanging down, and the grass on the ground  
Smelling… sweet.

Move up the road,  
To the outside of town and the sound of that good  
Gospel beat.

Sits a ragged tent  
Where there ain’t no trees,  
And that gospel group  
Telling you and me, it’s

Love, Brother Love, say hey  
Brother Love’s Travelling Salvation Show

It’s too darn hot  
It’s too darn hot

Refill the cup with my baby tonight  
But I ain’t up to my baby tonight  
'Cause it’s too darn hot

Love is a burning thing  
And it makes a fiery ring  
Bound by wild desire  
I fell into a ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire  
I went down, down, down  
And the flames went higher  
And it burns, burns, burns  
The ring of fire  
The ring of fire

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket  
She wears a cross around her neck  
Yes, the hair is from a little boy  
And the cross is someone she has not met, not yet

Says she talks to angels  
Says they all know her name  
Oh yeah, she talks to angels  
Says they call her out by her name
