Lyrics

[00:06.62] I'll be strumming my axe
[00:08.02] In a basement dive
[00:09.54] With my totally kick-ass band
[00:12.68] When an army of A and R men will arrive
[00:15.78] With pens and contracts in hand
[00:18.79] And they'll whisk me away in a big black car
[00:21.97] And the record execs and the girls from PR
[00:25.16] They'll know from the start
[00:26.56] What I major league star I will be
[00:30.53] Just wait and see
[00:34.43] When I climb to the top of Mount Rock
[00:37.54] And I'm there staring down from the heights
[00:40.64] With the crowd at my feet and a seven inch bulge
[00:43.75] In my lizard skin spandex tights
[00:46.88] I'll dive off the edge straight into a crowd
[00:50.03] That's screaming my name out loud
[00:52.83] And the gates will unlock
[00:57.09] At the top of Mount Rock
[01:00.98] I'll be blowing out amps
[01:02.53] Playing stadium shows
[01:03.99] On my sold out galactic tour
[01:07.21] And I'll blister the ears
[01:08.73] Of the first thousand rows
[01:10.23] And leave while they beg for more
[01:13.31] Then I'll pop the champagne
[01:14.95] And the party will rage
[01:16.47] No brown MMS in my green room backstage
[01:19.99] Bigger than Hendrix and Clapton and Page
[01:22.64] And the rest the all-time best
[01:28.99] When I climb to the top of Mount Rock
[01:32.10] And I'm perched at the uppermost peak
[01:35.20] With a legion of groupies all duking it out
[01:38.34] For my chiseled rock God physique
[01:41.40] And I'll scatter hit singles all over the land
[01:44.54] With my 12 Grammys in hand
[01:47.30] Watch the fan boys all flock
[01:51.56] At the top of Mount Rock
[01:56.20] The doubters and the haters
[01:57.91] And the hipsters let 'em laugh
[01:59.82] Soon they'll all be begging for my roadie's autograph
[02:03.18] I know my time is coming
[02:05.01] Well hopefully it's coming
[02:06.72] I'm pretty sure it's coming any day
[02:10.03] Once they hear me play
[02:14.59] Then the dreams that I had since the day I turned 10
[02:17.58] Will be finally coming true
[02:21.05] And no one'll call me a loser again
[02:23.88] Or tell me what I can't do
[02:27.04] So I hold my head high and keep strumming those strings
[02:30.04] And grab any chance that my destiny brings
[02:33.36] And I'll rise and I'll rise and I'll rise
[02:35.73] And the wings of my soul
[02:38.32] Up where I belong
[02:42.62] And I'll climb to the top of Mount Rock
[02:45.47] And be part of that heavenly scene
[02:48.74] With Odin and Zeus on the bass and the drums
[02:51.86] And Thor playing tambourine
[02:54.93] And Amos and Janis and Kurt will appear
[02:57.99] And Jesus'll toss me a beer
[03:00.65] And we'll jam 'round the clock
[03:04.94] At the top of Mount Rock
[03:08.32] At the top of Mount Rock
[03:11.04] At the top of Mount Rock
