(Blue Oyster Cult)
|
In a dark horse town, in the middle of the west
|
Where Friday takes so long to arrive
|
Johnny wakes up dreaming and turns on the radio
|
|
The he jumps up playin' his guitar in the mirror
|
Starts his day with a rock and roll pulse
|
Tonight's the night that Suzy and he
|
Are goin' to a rock and roll show
|
|
Tonight, I'm gonna see some rock and roll
|
Yeah, my favorite group is playin'
|
Tonight, I'm gonna see some rock and roll
|
|
Well it's showtime, and he's caught up in the crowd
|
He hates the crush, but he loves the music loud
|
He reaches out, but Suzy's disappeared,
|
|
Now Johnny's standin' on a corner, after the show
|
Lookin' for his Suzy dear
|
But there goes his Suzy in the band's limousine, yeah
|
Well that's the way it goes at these rock and roll shows
|
|
That's the way it goes
|
It's rock and roll
|
Well, that's the way it goes
|
It's rock and roll
|
|
Now Suzy's gone, and Johnny hears a thunder
|
As he rolls another number and he counts
|
He counts the times he's dreamt himself to be the hero
|
|
'Cause then when Suzy (was a bore??)
|
He's heard about adventure
|
As he looks into the mirror now he knows
|
He must be the star and play guitar like thunder
|
And find Suzy at his rock and roll show
|
|
|
Boy, if I only had a good guitar and a big amp
|
Boy, it wouldn't be somebody else takin' my girl away
|
I tell ya, I know what I should do
|
I'll put an ad in the paper, and get a few other guys
|
Who wanna play as much as I do
|
I tell ya, I ain't playin' no surf music
|
I'm gonna play some heavy music
|
I'm gonna play bad, I'm gonna play loud
|
I know just what I want it to sound like
|
It's gonna sound like, it's gonna sound like -
|
|
(...guitar solo...)
|
|
This is Don Kirshner
|
And tonight on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert
|
A new phenomenon in the music world
|
With six million albums to his credit in just two short years
|
My good friend, here's Johnny
|
|
Now Johnny became a legend in his time
|
Found it easier to live in pain
|
Half-a-hero in a hard-hearted game
|
|
Now it's showtime, and he's caught up in the glow
|
He hates the rush but he needs the music so
|
Still he reaches out, but Suzy's disappeared
|
Well that's the way it goes at these rock and roll shows
|
It's rock and roll
|
|
That's the way it goes, it's rock and roll (repeat)
