Lyrics
Rock n’ roll, it lives within my soul,
Filters the glam and the gloom, the hype and the trite
I discovered it near the golden eye of the deer
In the winter chill that year
I knew someday I might move on
So who will distinguish between the under-served
And the undeserved in our Camelot?
And who would agree to be the worker bee
When everything is for free from our Lancelot?
Then I had to postpone Imaginary play tones
Concentric Lines of stones used for writing
But still the world moved on with a whimper and a yawn
It seems that it’s not all that exciting
To move on, a long, so long!
Eat Air! Drink Water! Breathe Fire!
Eat Air! Drink Water! Breathe Fire!
Whichever name, the fuel remains, to play the game
So I won’t fear the beginnings nor will I fear the end
And I will reset it all again
I really don’t know what to say when you approach it this way
I’m scared to play and try again, move on!
And so it goes, curtains on the show
My own personal Edsel is now gone
