lyrics
I’ve learned it known, I’ve heard it said, that rock and roll is dead.
I paid my dues, I boxed the blues, I drank the boos and I hit snooze.
The days went by, I wondered why it ain’t no longer Friday night.
I wrote some fiction, death to diction, and it’s time for alibis.
And I said wake me up, to complicate the drama here.
This is my season and I need a reason to
Wake me up, to long for the longing and
My hands, and I am, tied in romance.
You drear so dull, you pick you pull, we’re like a matador and bull.
Los Angeles to New Orleans, from The Whiskey to Bourbon St. please
From wedding bells to shotgun shells,
You give ‘em hell and then you start to blink.
Intertwined, though love is blind, thoughts divine
You can’t rewind these thoughts I think.
And I said wake me up, to complicate the drama here.
This is my season and I need a reason man
Wake me up, to long for the longing and
My hands, and I am, so tied in romance.
