Lyrics

Did you ever feel any kind of kingship with any of that? You have not really been part of a rock and roll community You don't hang out with musicians Hmm. Do you? No. I've never been part of anything I had this one idea and vision That I've stuck to no matter what because I really was fascinated by the implications Of having and the possibilities of it Sylvia went and bought me, eh, this singer doing some Break Wild songs, not from the Three Penny Opera, just some other thing That I'd never heard before and the things they were writing about You could close your eyes and it was me Except not done the rock and roll I mean, it was just, you know, what, the seven deadly sins I mean, I could do that tomorrow in a rock and roll song, perfect I thought to myself, how come you, Lou, didn't think of that? I said, that's a pretty good one, you know, a song for every sin I said, oh, these are people after my own heart I mean, there's a world of material out there It's just putting it into the rock and roll format without becoming a drag Saying, like keeping the power and the hit of rock and roll And yet, you know, coming at somebody with a little taste of the surreal It's like if you're describing something to somebody, you say There are three doors I'm going in, the one on the left of the middle Well, if you do that badly, you can stop them right there Assuming they even heard it You know what I mean? But upon the other hand If you start getting involved in it and These doors are leading to rooms in a hotel where this is happening This is happening, that can be fun for some people I'm not talking about a double cross stick You know what I'm saying? You know, it could just be interesting Something you could follow with your head and Tap your foot and keep track of it over here You know, it's like Brecht and Weill Or Raymond Chandler
