Elliott Murphy - Last Of The Rockstars lyrics

rate me

Naked telephone poles can't describe

The way I'm feeling about you tonight

And a feeling on my back like an old brown jacket

Like to stay in school but I just can't hack it

And I'm out on the street feeling like dirt

I'm afraid to get married because I know its gonna hurt

And I say

Oh oh oh - there's the last of the rock stars

And me and you

Oh oh oh - rock 'n roll is here to stay

But who will be left to play

Well I dreamed I saw the king in a fifty three chevy

Had a band on his mind and his hands looked heavy

And he rolled down his window I guess to say hi

I couldn't see his face 'cause of the purple haze inside

And he was born to be the king - he was born to be the man

And he died though he was holy - although I doubt he'd understand

When I say

(chorus)

Adolescent predrug habit - if it means guitar you gotta have it

And you got your axe and you got your group

And your old man thinks its a waste of loot

And you wait all week for a Sullivan show

And you know that's just where you wanna go

And you homework now is never complete

You don't care - cause you have got that beat

So a highdy hi and a heydy hey

And a girls that home on Friday night and a boy that's out to play

And some of us are masters and some or us are slaves

And than there's that boy who knows he's gotta play

And a messy desk drawer full of broken strings

You know these kids and you know of those things

(chorus)

Come on mama please don't cry

Don't you know how I feel inside
