Lyrics

Rock 'N' Roll Suicide

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Time takes a cigarette

Puts it in your mouth

You pull on your finger, then another finger

Then your cigarette

The wall-to-wall is calling

It lingers, then you forget

Oh, oh, oh, oh

You're a rock 'n' roll suicide

You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it

And the clock waits so patiently on your song

You walk past a café

But you don't eat when you've lived too long

Oh, no, no, no

You're a rock 'n' roll suicide

Chev brakes are snarling

As you stumble across the road

But the day breaks instead

So you hurry home

Don't let the Sun blast your shadow

Don't let the milk float ride your mind

They're so natural

Religiously unkind

Oh no, love! You're not alone

You're watching yourself, but you're too unfair

You've got your head all tangled up

But if I could only make you care

Oh no, love! You're not alone

No matter what or who you've been

No matter when or where you've seen

All the knives seem to lacerate your brain

I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain

You're not alone!

Just turn on with me and you're not alone

Let's turn on and be not alone (wonderful)

Gimme your hands, 'cause you're wonderful

Gimme your hands, 'cause you're wonderful

Oh, gimme your hands
