|
A Friday night affair |
|
Out in the city heat |
|
Always a party there |
|
Along the sordid street |
|
And it was guaranteed |
|
The place to be was |
|
Rocketown |
|
The drinks were two for one |
|
Inside the crowded bars |
|
The girls would make their run |
|
Down on the boulevard |
|
It was the idol place |
|
We lived the ways of |
|
Rocketown |
|
Hang around by the street light |
|
In the heart of the night life |
|
There came a certain man |
|
A stranger to the crowd |
|
We didn't understand |
|
What he was all about |
|
He walked a different pace |
|
So out of place in |
|
Rocketown |
|
They made a fool of him |
|
They teased him when he's speak |
|
But when they knocked him down |
|
He turned the other cheek |
|
He told me |
|
I could find |
|
A life outside of |
|
Rocketown |
|
Hang around by the street light |
|
In the heart of the night life (Chorus) |
|
What was his mission |
|
Where was he going |
|
Why was his heart light always glowing? |
|
All I was missing |
|
He stood there holding |
|
What was his secret |
|
Could I know it? |
|
Some didn't like him near |
|
Some laughed and turned away |
|
But me, I longed to hear |
|
All that he had to say |
|
He had a peace of mind |
|
I couldn't find in |
|
Rocketown |
|
And when I reached down inside me |
|
I could feel the emptiness |
|
He said it's in the heart |
|
This change that comes to be |
|
Now he had done his part |
|
The rest was up to me |
|
As we were standing there |
|
He said a prayer for |
|
Rocketown |
|
As we were standing there |
|
He said a prayer for |
|
Rocketown |
|
He walked off silently |
|
And prayed for me |
|
And Rocketown... |
