[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]
