Now, when her name is Mary, there is no falseness there;
When to Marie she’ll vary, she’ll surely bleach her hair.
Though Mary’s ordinary, Marie is fair to see;
Don’t ever fear sweet Mary, beware of sweet Marie!
I’ve been thinking about your kissing
Lord knows what I’ve been missing
You’re the only one who can put me in such a state
A state
Never take your love for granted
I’ll be waiting on ya just like we planned it
Taking my time, I’ll sip my wine while I wait
Don’t be late
Because in my mind I’m seeing starlight
One more time for my imagination
I’m not high; don’t let me be misunderstood
Always said you were a youthquaker, Edie
A stormy little world shaker
Oh, Warhol’s darling queen, Edie
An angel with a broken wing
The dogs lay at your feet, Edie
Oh, we caressed you cheek
Oh, stars wrapped in your hair, Edie
Life without a care
But you’re not there
When Eddie said he didn’t love his Teddy
You knew he was a rotten kid
Are you ready, Eddie, to turn out rock-and-roll?
Are you ready, Eddie, ready to rock-and-roll?
Are you ready, Eddie, to give me some of your soul?
It’s been a long time since I rock and rolled
It’s been a long time since I did the stroll
Ooh let me get it back, let me get it back
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from
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
The radio’s playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee’s “Coming On Strong”
The road has got me hypnotized
And I’m a-speedin’ into a new sunrise
When I was young
I’d listen to the radio
Waitin’ for my favorite songs
When they played I’d sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they’d gone
But they’re back again
I’d sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old-time stars
Through wars of worlds, invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you
If I was young it didn’t stop you coming through
(Oh-a-oh)
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
(Oh-a-oh)
Out past the 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
Workin’ on our night moves
In the summertime (Mmm)
In the sweet summertime
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine
Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind
Summer
It turns me upside down
Summer, summer, summer
It’s like a merry-go-round
Upside down
Boy, you turn me inside out
And, 'round and 'round
Upside down
Boy, you turn me inside out
And, 'round and 'round
And you will see us coming, V-formation through the sky
Film survives, eyes cry
On the hill hear us call through a realm of sound
Oh, oh-oh, down and down
Down and 'round, oh, down and 'round
'Round and 'round, oh, 'round and 'round
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
Don’t look back
Ooh, a new day is breakin’
It’s been too long since I felt this way
I don’t mind
Ooh, where I get taken
The road is callin’, today is the day
I can see, it took so long just to realize
I’m much too strong not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I’ll turn it around, oh, yes, I will
I finally see the dawn arrivin’
I see beyond the road I’m drivin’
It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on
Like a king without a castle
Like a queen without a throne
I’m an early morning lover
And I must be moving on
Wheels are made for rollin’
Mules are made to pack
I’ve never seen a sight
That didn’t look better looking back
I was born under a wand’rin’ star
