That Drop Is Steep

You can always climb the tower with the benefit of scotch

I can always tell the hour by the readout on my watch

I was uninhabitable for a difficult stretch

Born under a bad sign, born out of breath

Something about rock and roll

Makes me nervous for the future

Something about rock and roll

Makes it difficult to sleep

I’ve been a Kentucky colonel

And I’ve been a Hoosier

I’ve seen the top

And man, that drop is steep

Sew it up with thread and needle, make sure it doesn’t leave a scar

Meet the parents Meet the Beatles, baby you can drive my car

I was unavoidable much to everyone’s chagrin

Turn up like a bad penny and you will get fooled again

You don’t have to call for Stella, you don’t have to be so method

I don’t see much that can compel us, from A Band Apart to Breathless

I made an offer that you couldn’t accept

Don’t bother answering ‘cuz nothing is correct

Something about rock and roll

Makes me feel defensive

Something about rock and roll

Affects the friends I keep

Sometimes your hobbies

Get a little expensive

I have seen the top

And man that drop is steep

If you’re looking to get off, if you’re looking to be present

If you’ve got a cough, or something equally unpleasant

Well they say I’m getting soft

They say I’m growing aloof

They say I’ve been double crossed

All I need to see is proof

Something about rock and roll

Makes me nervous for the future

Something about rock and roll

Makes it difficult to sleep

I have been the stab wound

And I have been the suture

I’ve seen the top

And man that drop is steep
