And I need time no more (tomorrow)  
When you can’t cry no more (tomorrow)  
And a love died before (tomorrow)  
Look behind no more (tomorrow)

It’s just another fine day, recall  
Don’t follow me down, no more  
As we rise we form  
A new gold dawn

The sun’ll come out  
Tomorrow  
Bet your bottom dollar  
That tomorrow there’ll be sun

If you believe in forever  
Then life is just a one-night stand  
If there’s a rock n’ roll heaven  
Well you know they’ve got a hell of a band, band, band

Hey, mom, look, I’m up here, I finally made it  
I’m playing the drums again, too  
Don’t be sad, the band doesn’t sound half bad  
And I remember, mom, what you said  
You said, “Honey, you look so underfed”

Mama, ooh-ooh, didn’t mean to make you cry  
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow  
Carry on, carry on  
As if nothing really matters

Get back, Loretta  
Your mommy’s waiting for you

Get back home, Loretta

Hot lips, hot lips, girl you got hot lips  
Burning me all night long  
Our love can never go wrong  
Baby you’re turning me on!

Baby. I love your hot lips

Pull up to it, don’t drive through it,  
Back it, up twice, now that fits nice,  
Grease it, spray it  
Let me lubricate it

Pull up to my bumper baby

Yeah, we’re running a little bit hot tonight  
I can barely see the road with the heat coming off it  
You reach down between my legs and  
Ease the seat back

Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy  
Out in the back seat of my ‘60 Chevy  
Workin’ on mysteries without any clues  
Workin’ on our night moves  
Trying’ to make some front page drive-in news  
Practicing our night moves in the summertime, oh  
In the sweet summertime

Stop right there!  
I gotta know right now!  
Before we go any further!  
Do you love me?  
Will you love me forever?  
Do you need me?  
Will you never leave me?  
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?  
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?

Paranoia strikes deep  
Into your life, it will creep  
It starts when you’re always afraid  
You step out of line  
The man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what’s that sound?  
Everybody look what’s going down

Every time I’m walkin’ down the streets  
Some pretty mama start breakin’ down with me  
Stop breakin’ down, yes stop breakin’ down  
The stuff I got’ll bust your brains out, baby  
It’ll make you lose your mind

Overhead the albatross  
Hangs motionless upon the air  
And deep beneath the rolling waves  
In labyrinths of coral caves  
The echo of a distant time  
Comes willowing across the sand  
And everything is green and submarine.
