Certain things ya do really make me mad I must confess
The way the street light sihlouettes your thighs inside your dress
Wild child in the streets I think I've seen you but I really don't know
One million miles an hour headed out to where the down boys go

Whoa, can we rewind to where we've been
Ooo i wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in.

Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
I wanna go where the down boys go baby.

You comb your hair put on your shades you look real cool.
You're givin' me the runaround making me feel like a fool.
Got a lot of nerve to call me cheap even though it's true.
I don't care where go tonight take me along with you.

Whoa, can we rewind to where we've been
Ooo i wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in.

Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
I wanna go where the down boys go baby.

Certain things ya do really make me mad I must confess
The way the street light sihlouettes your thighs inside your dress

Whoa, can we rewind to where we've been
Ooo i wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in.

Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
I wanna go where the down boys go baby.

Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
Where they go?

. . .


Spend my time and all my money on a knob for my brass bed
Climb to the top of the highest mountain just to see how far I get
Dancin' with my shadow and I let my shandow lead
If I die with a penny in my pocket then I guess thats all I need

Oooh baby where you going to
I was thinking that maybe I would come along with you
I could walk on down the road till I found me someone new
But I think I'll stay just one more day, cuz i'm in love with you
Ohh, ohh
Yeah
Ooh, ooh, baby, yeah

32 pennies in a Ragu jar
That's all I've got to my name
I love her and she loves me to the pennies its all the same

Oooh, baby, where you going to
I was thinking that maybe I would come along with you
I could walk on down the road till I found me someone new
But I think I'll stay just one more day, cuz i'm in love with you
Ohh, ohh

my-my-my-my-my-my baby yeah

32 pennies in a Ragu jar
That's all I've got to my name
But I love her and she loves me to the pennies it's all the same
Ooh, ooh
Yeah
Ooh ooh

Give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love
Ooh, ooh,
Whoa yeah!

. . .


I've got a picture of your house
And you're standing by the door.
It's black and white and faded,
And it's looking pretty worn.
See the factory that I worked
Silhouetted in the back.
The memories are gray but man they're really coming back.

I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as i'm the hero of this little girl

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday
No matter what your friends might say

How I love the way you move
And the sparkle in your eyes
There's a color deep inside them
Like blue suburban skys
When i come home late at night
And you're in bed asleep
I wrap my arms around you
So I can feel you breathe

I dont need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday (Ah, ah)
No matter what your friends might say
We'll find our way, yeah

Now the lights are going out,
Along the boulevard
Memories come rushing back and makes it pretty hard
I've got nowhere left to go
And no one really cares
I don't know what to do
But I'm never giving up on you.

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
ohhhh ohhh
No matter what your friends say
I know we're gonna find a way

(Heaven)

Whoah, oohh, ohhh
Whoah, oohh, ohhh

(Heaven)

It's not too far away

Whoah, oohh, ohhh

Yeah yeah yeah

. . .


(Dirty rotten filthy stinking rich)
Italian cars as long as my street
I'm gonna wear exotic animals
On my feet
Pretty rocks on my fingers
Pretty bells on my toes
Lots of caviar for my mouth
Maybe I'll even pierce my nose

Give me, give me just half a chance
To lead you in this corporate dance
And I'll be dirty rotten filthy stinking rich
(Hu Huu Ha Huu Ho Huu)

Sign it all in the palm of my hand
Nothing gonna get in the way
Do you understand
I got a house
I got a jet
I got a Rolls Royce painted blue
The only thing that's left is for me to own you too

Give me, give me just half a chance
To lead you in this corporate dance
And I'll be dirty rotten filthy stinking rich

I'm gonna have more money than you have ever seen
Baby I just want all the frills
I'm gonna insluate my body in green (me too)
I'm going to light my cigarettes with 100 dollar bills

Give me, give me just half a chance
To lead you in this corporate dance
Give me give me just half a chance
To take you on a hopeless romance
And I'll be dirty rotten fithy stinking rich

I told you what I want
I want bank accounts
And I want cd's
I want early term roll overs
I want everything!

Street fighting is looking for trouble
If you open your mouth
You're bound to rumble
Johnny looks tough
He's froze in the eyes
He keeps his mouth shut
He don't tell no lies

Johnny went out last night
Got in a bar room fight
Embarrassed a jealous man
In front if his cheating wife
The man said "Tonight you won
But I'll tell you son,
This one's far from over"
Johnny said

Big talk is just talk
Unless, unless you're backing it up
Big talk is cheap talk is
Only words unless you're backing it up
(We're backin' it up)

Now I don't know why
Some men lay down and die
Don't they believe in what they're saying
You should get on your feet
Believe you can't be beat
Remember talk is only playing

Big talk is just talk
Unless, unless you're backing it up
Big talk is cheap talk is
Only words unless you're backing it up
(We're backin' it up)

I remember what my old man used to say
(We're backin' it up)
Never give up and run
(We're backin' it up)
Don't let the talkin' breeze blow you away
Always remember, stick to your guns

Big talk is looking for trouble
If you open your mouth
You better be ready to rumble

Big talk is just talk
Unless, unless you're backing it up
Big talk is cheap talk is
Only words unless you're backing it up, I say

Big talk is just talk
Unless, unless you're backing it up
Big talk is cheap talk is
Only words unless you're backing it up
(We're backin' it up)

We all say
Big talk is just talk
Unless, unless you're backing it up
Oh we're backin' it up
We're backing it up, yeah

Mercy don't think she's pretty no more,
Starin' at the stars through her back screen door,
She tries and tries to make it all work out,
No matter what she does,
She's left standin' in the middle of doubt,
In a lonely night,
And in the pourin' rain,
You can count on me,

Sometimes she cries,
When she's alone at night,
Sometimes she weeps,
When she's feelin' cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
It just tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries,
Ooh, I wonder why,

Mercy don't have a lover no more,
She plays with her pillow,
Stares at the bedroom floor,
Used to have a million,
They've come and gone,
No matter what she does,
She can't figure out what she's doin' wrong,
In a lonely night,
And in the pourin' rain,
You can count on me,

Sometimes she cries,
When she's alone at night,
Sometimes she weeps,
When she's feelin' cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
Oh, it tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries,
Ooh, yeah

Livin', lovin', give it everything you've got,
After all the heartache,
Maybe give love just one more shot yeah,

In a lonely night,
And in the pourin' rain,
The only thing I really wanna know is why,

Sometimes she cries,
When she's alone at night,
Sometimes she weeps,
When she's feelin cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
Oh, it tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries
Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Dirty, rotten, filthy, stinkin...

She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good makes a grown man cry
Sweet Cherry Pie

Swingin' on the front porch
Swingin' on the lawn
Swingin' where we want
'Cause there ain't nobody home
Swingin' to the left
And swingin' to the right
If I think about baseball
I'll swing all night yea

Swingin' in the living room
Swingin' in the kitchen
Most folks don't 'cause
They're too busy bitchin'
Swingin' in there 'cause
She wanted me to feed her
So I mixed up the batter
And she licked the beater

I scream you scream
We all scream for her
Don't even try 'cause
You can't ignore her

She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water

Tastes so good
Make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie oh yea

Put a smile on your face
Ten miles wide
Looks so good
Bring a tear to your eye
Sweet cherry pie

Swingin' to the drums
Swingin' to guitar
Swingin' to the bass
In the back of my car
Ain't got money
Ain't got no gas

We're goin' if we
Swing real fast

I scream you scream
We all scream for her
Don't even try 'cause
You can't ignore her

With my daughter no more

Cool drink of water

This house used to feel so warm..
The heater works but I'm chilled to the bone
Oh, this room never felt so big.
There's not enough conversation to fill the empty spaces.
How can you love someone and not know them at all?

It's a thin disguise, living our lives behind a thin disguise.
One of these days if I got the time,
I'll show you what I'm like on the inside.

I talked, you used to hear me so well.
Now all the best conversations are with myself.
Oh I wish I knew what's pulling you away,
But the space that's grown between us,
Gets a little bigger everyday.
How can you love someone and not know them at all?

It's a thin disguise, living our lives behind a thin disguise.
One of these days if I got the time,
I'll show you what I'm like on the inside.

It's a thin disguise, living our lives behind a thin disguise, oh, yeah
It's a thin disguise, living our lives behind a thin disguise, yeah
It's a thin disguise, living our lives behind a thin disguise, yeah

. . .


Just for the record let's get the story straight
Me and Uncle Tom were fishin' it was gettin' pretty late
Out on a cypress limb above the wishin' well
Where they say it got no bottom say it take you down to Hell

Over in the bushes and off to the right
Two men talking in the pale moonlight
Sherriff John Brady and Deputy Hedge
Haulin' two limp bodies down to the Waters' Edge

I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin oh yea
I know a secret that I just can't tell

They didn't see me and Tom in the tree
Neither one believin' what the other could see
Tossed in the bodies let em sink on down
to the bottom of the well where they'd never be found

I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin oh yea
I know a secret that I just can't tell
I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin
I know who put the bodies in the wishing well

(Guitar Solo)

Soon as they were gone me and Tom got down
Prayin real hard that we wouldn't make a sound
Runnin through the woods back to Uncle Tom's shack
Where the full moon shines through the rooftop cracks

Oh my God, Tom, who are we going to tell?
The Sherriff, he belongs in a prison cell
Keep your mouth shut, that's what we're going to do
Unless you want to wind up in the wishing well too

I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin
I know a secret that I just can't tell
I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin
Know who put the bodies, know who put the bodies
In the wishin well
Oh yea

. . .


Oo it must be magic
How inside your eyes
I see my destiny
Every time we kiss
I feel you breathe your love so deep inside of me
If the moon and stars should fall
They'd be easy to replace
I would lift you up to heaven
And you would take their place

Then I saw red
When I opened up the door
I saw red
My heart just spilled onto the floor
And I didn't need to see his face
I saw yours
I saw red when I closed the door

I don't think I'm gonna love you anymore

Everyday I wake up
I thank God that you are still a part of me
We've opened up the door to which
So many people never find the key
And if the sun should ever fail to send its light
We would burn a thousand candles
And make everything alright

Then I saw red
When I opened up the door
I saw red
My heart just spilled onto the floor
And I didn't need to see his face
I saw yours
I saw red when I closed the door
I don't think I'm gonna love you anymore

I've been hurt
And I've been blind
I'm not sure that I'll be fine
I never thought it would end this way
Oo it must be magic

. . .


On a dead end street
In a dead end town
There's a motel that I call home
Just a few small hopes
And a few small dreams
Is all that place is resting on

Desiree lives two doors down
She's been there for way too long
Oh Yeah!
Sometimes when she's feelin' down
you know I hope she hears this song

On a bed of roses
Not beneath some motel light
On a bed of roses
She deserves to sleep tonight
She deserves to sleep tonight

She comes home late everynight
I can hear her walkin' down my hall
She don't talk on the phone too much
When she does I hear it through my wall

Desiree don't have many friends
At least not many good ones
I may be just an ordinary man
But at least I'm someone to lean on

On a bed of roses
Not beneath some motel light
On a bed of roses
She deserves to sleep tonight
She deserves to sleep tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

On a bed of roses
Not beneath some motel light
On a bed of roses
She deserves to sleep tonight
On a bed of roses
On a bed of roses
Oh, she deserves to sleep tonight
She deserves to sleep tonight

. . .


It could have rained for forty weeks dear
And I'd have never known the difference
When your life is one long downpour
You're not sure you'll go the distance

You come along with a patch of blue sky
Inside your arms I found a place that's warm and dry

Mister Rainmaker don't waste your time
I found a girl who is permanent sunshine
She is the little queen of all of my dreams
Carry on! And find someone else to rain on

Love never rained down on me dear
Only heartache and problems
Now through your arms I can see clear
oh, It's only been raining water
You came along with a patch of blue sky
Inside your arms I found a place that's warm and dry

Mister Rainmaker don't waste your time
I found a girl who is permanent sunshine
She is the little queen of all of my dreams
Carry on! And find someone else to rain on

Mister Rainmaker don't waste your time
I found a girl who is permanent sunshine
She is the little queen of all of my dreams
Carry on! And find someone else to rain on

Mister Rainmaker, yeah, yeah, yeah

. . .


Well Suize, oh Suzie
Come on and let me in
There's love in the air
Love on my mind
Love in the pores of my skin

I worked real hard, all week long
Kept on singin' the same damn song
It's one for the money
Two for the show
Paid on Friday and I'm ready to go

And if I'm wrong or if I'm right
I don't give a damn tonight
You bring out the worst in me
Huh, uh, you might be bad
But sure feels good to me
It sure feels good to me

You think i'm outrageous
You think i'm insane
But everything I'm doing tonight
I'm doing it screaming your name

Suzie, oh Suzie, open up the door
We wont be able to walk tomorrow
So we might as well do it some more

And if I'm wrong or if I'm right
I don't give a damn tonight
You bring out the worst in me
Huh, uh, you might be bad
But sure feels good to me
It sure feels good to me

Well, if I'm wrong or if I'm right
I don't give a damn tonight
You bring out the beast in me
Yeah, it might be dirty and it might be bad
But it sure feels, (sure feels), sure feels good to me
Oh, sure feels good to me

. . .


Through the hole in my wall
I see into your head
A beggar's day banquet
On a four-poster bed
It's food for the eyes
Drink for the soul
The hole in my wall
I can't let myself go

I'm spinning 'round and 'round
('Round and 'round and 'round)
Don't let me down
(Ooh I groove)
Through the hole in my wall
(Love the view)
Through the hole in my wall
(Velvet blue)
Through the hole in my wall
(I see you)
Through the hole in my wall

The hole in my wall
Let's in the sound
Of bodies and sweat
And merry-go-rounds
The hole in my wall
Is better than sex
An x-rated Disneyland
Grooving T-Rex

I'm spinning 'round and 'round
('Round and 'round and 'round)
Don't let me down
(Ooh I groove)
Through the hole in my wall
(Love the view)
Through the hole in my wall
(Velvet blue)
Through the hole in my wall
(I see you)
Through the hole in my wall

I'm spinning 'round and 'round
('Round and 'round and 'round)
Don't let me down
(Ooh I groove)
Through the hole in my wall
(Love the view)
Through the hole in my wall
(Velvet blue)
Through the hole in my wall
(I see you)
Through the hole in my wall
Through the hole in my wall

. . .


Well, the first time that I saw you
I could not speak a word
My tongue was tied in giant knots
And I felt so disturbed

At the feeling rushing through me
The heat inside my veins
At the way my nerve ends tingle
Every time you call my name

I've got a lust ignited fever
And I can't put out the flame

Next time that I saw you
I felt so at ease
You had a languid disposition
I had an willingness to please

And your candy apple red lips
Full of violets and sex
Had me harder than a coal train
Had my collar wringing wet
burnBut I'm not finished yet

My heart is pounding like a big bass drum
Excited at the thought I might get me some
Lick it off my fingers
Taste it on my tongue
Love you little baby like a machine gun

You're a symphony of elegance
A masterpiece of grace
And animated work of art
Who's acquired a taste

For the flesh of weaker lovers
Lie down on their backs
To be ridden at your leisure
And be taken off like hats

I'm not here for you to walk on
And I'm not your welcome mat

My heart is pounding like a big bass drum
Excited at the thought I might get me some
Lick it off my fingers
Taste it on my tongue
Love you little baby like a machine gun

A machine gun, yeah

The first time that I saw you
I could not speak a word
My tongue was tied in giant knots
And I felt so disturbed

At the feeling rushing through me
The heat inside my veins
At the way my nerve ends tingle
Every time you call my name

I've got a lust ignited fever
And I can't put out the flame

My heart is pounding like a big bass drum
Excited at the thought I might get me some
Lick it off my fingers
Taste it on my tongue
Love you little baby like a machine gun

Ma-ma-ma-machine gun

Machine

We Will Rock You
