Rock and Roll Star

The blue light hits hard in the lonely night

I guess I should have turned it off

But I'm just too doggone tired

Stuffin' a sandwich down my throat

Can't even bear the thought of food

Oh, but I chew, chew, chew

'Cause there's nothing else to do

Yeah, let's go

Now I walk into some bar

And try to get myself a drink

And up walks this girl, she says

Hey, you wanna know what I think?

I think your music is great

But I like you even better

How 'bout the two of us

Just makin' some noise together?

And I said well, hey, I don't know

I really don't know now

She says, well, I'm gonna kill myself

If I don't make it with you

So you follow her home

I mean, hey, what can you do?

Jonathan, he's a rock and roll star

Didn't make it, but that's the way things are

Jonathan, he's a rock and roll star

Didn't make it, but that's the way things are

That's the way things are

Ah, yeah

That's the way things are

Ah, that's just the way things are

One

Two

Three

Four

Now we had a lot of fun

But there's something I gotta do

Ah, now don't start yellin'

'Cause you know I won't be hurtin' you

Yeah, you look real cool

But I knew you were the screamin' type

Well, it's goodbye to the world, honey

Welcome to the hype
