| [00:06.88] |
Said before you knew what it was like to be poor |
| [00:10.49] |
Or maybe just poorly dressed |
| [00:12.71] |
I was always trying to make a good time out of life |
| [00:17.16] |
With the empress |
| [00:19.68] |
But now I've been asleep at the switch, oh honey |
| [00:23.50] |
Somehow I got the wound |
| [00:25.68] |
I recognize that somebody had to do something soon |
| [00:30.88] |
I was a rock in an island |
| [00:34.09] |
Somewhere near the Cote d'Ivoire |
| [00:37.16] |
I could not deny the crabs |
| [00:39.69] |
But baby, they ain't here no more |
| [00:42.63] |
So many tricks that you trade on |
| [00:45.70] |
So much makeup to cover the pall |
| [00:48.96] |
I gather you are here and all |
| [00:52.23] |
But rock and roll just can't recall |
| [00:58.42] |
Said that she was someone that you used to know |
| [01:02.85] |
Or maybe someone you used |
| [01:04.87] |
I was down on my knees at the crossroads |
| [01:08.39] |
So I suppose I've got no excuse |
| [01:11.36] |
The scales have fallen from my eyes dear |
| [01:15.28] |
Now I think I understand |
| [01:17.62] |
So you can **** on water, that don't make you |
| [01:20.94] |
A miracle man |
| [01:22.65] |
I was a double agent on a submarine down on the Isle of Wight |
| [01:29.66] |
I had the intelligence, but I never really was |
| [01:34.45] |
All that bright so many tricks to turn on |
| [01:37.74] |
You gotta walk before you can crawl |
| [01:40.99] |
It might have been the Vietnam |
| [01:44.20] |
But rock and roll just can't recall |
| [02:11.17] |
Now these days I shiver, shake when I walk |
| [02:14.81] |
And you can't bear to see me dance |
| [02:17.88] |
My life's an antique of an experiment |
| [02:21.52] |
And I blew the advance |
| [02:24.57] |
What do we do with brother Mark? |
| [02:28.32] |
You don't use soap in yourself |
| [02:30.79] |
Maybe we still got the moves and the crooks but you ain't got the health |
| [02:36.05] |
I raided and pillaged down on sunset |
| [02:40.25] |
And I woke up on the beach |
| [02:42.99] |
I was a ******* rhythm machine now the good life was in reach |
| [02:47.87] |
So many tricks that you take on |
| [02:51.06] |
You're left against the wall |
| [02:53.99] |
Drop the needle and ramble on |
| [02:57.44] |
And rock and roll just can't recall |
| [03:03.52] |
Rock and roll just can't recall |
| [03:08.37] |
