Keep on a rockin', keep on a rockin')
(Keep on a rock n roll's gonna never die)

I was born in the fifties
I was loud and electric
Didn't I turn you on?
Got all shook up with Elvis
Yeah, yeah, I've been Beatled
I've been Rolling Stoned

Watch it!
A hot flash at Woodstock
I encored there
With your favorite song

The crowd was screamin',
"Give us rock n roll!"
When the spotlight hits me
I always steal the show

(Keep on a rockin', keep on a rockin')
(Keep on a rock n roll's gonna never die)

Baby I am the music
I am every note and I'm every chord
I'm the star of tomorrow
Yeah, I'm the holy ghost of the ever more
Oooh yeah

The crowd was screamin',
"Give us rock n roll!"
When the spotlight hits me
Put on my axe and I blow...

Like this:
Fats Domino..
Shake, rattle, and roll all night long
When the rock is right, you can't go wrong, no
(no, you can't go wrong)
Some things never last
But the beat goes on and on and on and on
Oooh baby, you rock on

(Keep on a rockin', keep on a rockin')
(Keep on a rock n roll's gonna never die)
You just keep on a rockin', and you roll it
Rock n roll it, rock n roll it all night long
Baby, you just rock it , rock n roll it all night long...

Heavy metal Cinderella
Sudden death, now the thrill is gone
Oh yea
Nice shot, you're a killer
So what? Some like it hot, be the urban guerilla

Somewhere in the concrete jungle
King Kong has taken me
He is the hunter, he is the hunted
Guerilla, beware of the beast, yea
Beware, beware
Guerilla, urban guerilla,
Guerilla


. . .



You lay by my side in the still of the night
Let morning bring forth, all that's wondrous, wondrous to light
You could have made it, made it more plain
When I hear that, hear that soft refrain
And I hear you gently sigh

Chorus:
I wanna take you where flamingos fly
(Flamingos fly)
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky,
That's where flamingos fly

As we lie in the dark and hear the sweet song of the nightingale
And we listen for the lark, and I wanna tell you babe, tell you a
tale
With the soft wind blowin', blowin' outside
Hey I wanna take that moonlight ride
And I hear you gently sigh, babe

[Chorus]

And I'm silently waiting
For that morning light to shine
And I'm looking at you, lookin at me, and I'm lookin' at you
And I'm anticipating with each and every sign
Yes, I'm lookin' at you, lookin' at me,
Lookin' at you, lookin' at me, lookin' back at you

And I'm findin' that road
That road that will take me, take me back home to you baby
And I'll carry the load where the deer and angels roam
Where happiness touches, touches the now
I don't where it came from, I don't how, and I,
And I hear you gently sigh, babe

[Chorus x 2]


. . .



Floatin' on a sea of mystery
A driftaround came unknown
But that China wind keeps callin' me
It knows where I wanna go

Chorus:
Oh China, I can hear you call
China, I can hear you call

You see, I really don't have the choices
My life is torn between lovin you and them
So I pretend to chart my courses
But I listen to that China wind

[Chorus]

Oh, China, ooh China, yeah China my friend
You're a little wrapped up inside a mystery
Yea, you are, China come again

And long, long ago I once had the power
To levitate the world with just my will
Yea, but I must gone wrong
That feelin's long gone
I belong to the China wind

[Chorus]

Oh, China, ooh China, yeah China my friend
You're a little wrapped up inside a mystery
Yea, you are, China come again
Oh yeah!


. . .



Well the moon sucked up the ocean tide
As Christians knelt close by her side
Oooh and others who were left behind

Silver lights, in my eyes
Silver lights, in my eyes

Now the summer cried when the sun eclipsed
Yea, and some fought for the broken bits
While the rest flew off in rocket ships

Silver lights, in my eyes
Silver lights, in my eyes
Oh, yeah

Well it happened so quickly
Lord, never no time to wonder
So we jump on board and we take an all night thunder
Spectacle in the night
Yea, we all flied thunder

Oooh here I sit on foreign land
And there's so many things I don't understand
Yea, the reasons for the life of man

Silver lights, in my eyes
Silver lights, in my eyes
Shinin'

Silver lights, (shinin' down) in my eyes
(No I ain't afaid) silver lights, (take me now) in my eyes


. . .



Yeah, you know my blood is red
And ooh, child my skin is pure white, yeah
And I don't pull no punches
If some fool wants to fight
Cause the kid ain't afraid to get up and make a stand
Oh, no, no, no
For love or money, I get it any way I can
You know I will

I'm an all American boy
All American man
Yea, yes I am
I'm just an all American boy
Baby, I'm an American man
That's what what I am

And I love European women, give me a European car
Cause you know baby, I love bein' a star, yea I do
Oooh, star-spangled guitar

I got the big one for my lady
Now is that too hard to understand?
Oh, I thought so baby
From New York to Memphis
I got a hundred million supermen
Oh, that's what I am

I'm an all American boy
Baby, I'm an American man, well yes I am
I an all American boy
I'm your Uncle Sam
Well that's who I am

Yes, we're all American boys
We're all American men

Oh yea
Oh, you expect us, American men
I say the USA, well that's okay
Amercian ways
Well love it, leave it, love it baby
Cause I'm your Uncle Sam


. . .



Oh yea
If you got a guilty conscience
There's no need to get depressed
Won't you drop in anytime
Come in and get it off of your chest

It's a shame that I can't see you
When we're both inside of this box
Never knowing what your name is
When we have these private talks

Chorus:
Won't you please come back
Cause the sound of your voice has got me wondering why I'm so
distracted
So won't you please, please come back
I'll be waiting next time that you call to discuss how you've acted
Confession, come on baby

Now, was it her,
That sold you kisses at St. Patrick's last bazaar
Or the one who drank more whiskey
And drove off in a brand new car

Or the widow who was weeping
For the husband that she lost
Or the one at their reception
Who was dancing with the dogs

[Chorus]

Yes, I'll be waiting next time
I want your confession
Gimme your confession
You know that's my profession
So use imagination
You know I'll be waiting


. . .



Oooh baby, I love you

It's saturday night
Don't it feel like a Sunday in some ways
If you had any sense
You'd maybe go away, for a few days

And be that as it may
You can only say, that you love me
You are just a young girl
You're working your way thru the phoneys

And coffee on, well milk's gone
It's a sad light unfading
And you're self, you touch
Ooh not too much, baby
They say it's degrading

Your friends they are making
A pop star or two every evening
And you know that seems backward,
They can't see the patterns they're weaving

Your skin's so light
You'd like maybe to go to bed soon
So just close your eyes
If you're to rise up before noon

And high heels and car wheels
Yeah, the losers, they are groovin'
Yeah
Ohh, your dreams, strange things
Images are moving.
All around

Young girl blues

It's Saturday night
Don't it feel like a Sunday in some ways
If you had any sense
You'd be there lady, awww baby for a few days

And be that as it may
Well you can only say that I'm so lonely
And you are just a young girl
You're working your way

Just a young girl
Young girl blues
Young girl blues
Watch out for the phoneys

I say, you are just a young girl!
ooh yeah
You are just a young girl!
ooh yeah baby

You're just working your way
You're just working your way
Through the phoneys, yeah
You've got the young girl blues
You've got the young girl blues


. . .


Back stage butterfly floats by
Fix the face, smoke a cigarette
And just relax, baby
Well, I know the role by heart
And baby you never had no lines to forget

Well, life is a stage
So step into the light
And the part that play
Well, you're a star, a star in this outrageous night

It's me, Rock 'N' Roll Romeo
Meet you babe, Blue Jean Juliet
Yeah, let's rock 'n' roll

Thirty days on the road and
I can fall in love with a silhouette
Huh, that don't say much for you, baby
Well I ain't no faggot, no, no, no, no
We'll get something staright between us yet
Maybe up in the balcony, Juliet

Well life's just a stage (something French)
Blinded by the light
And the part that you play, baby
Well you're a star to me in this outrageous night

Ooh yeah, it's me, Rock 'N' Roll Romeo
Meet you babe, yeah, Blue Jean Juliet
Well the stage is set for Marie Antoinette
And Rock 'N' Roll Romeo

From the balcony
All the way to the front row
Rock 'N' Roll Romeo
Me to you, babe
Rock 'N' Roll Romeo
Blue Jean Juliet
