Dr. Dog
Rock & Roll
[Verse]
When I was young, yeah I was young one time, we have all been young
But, this one time when I was young my buddy gave me a tape. And it freaked me out
I didn't know what to do. It was like TNT. I was in my brother’s room
And another time, different house, different song
Different friend, different band, he had real long hair
Pulled the record out, put the needle on and freaked me out
I’d never done drugs. I barely brushed my teeth
But I was on the floor all glassy eyed fucked up beyond belief
Who would known, Who would known, Who would known, Who would known
That it would be rock and roll
That would terrify and eat me
That would haunt me so completely
Yeah you were there, summer-time, young love, halcyon days, Elysian fields
Marlboro reds, white car, blue eyes, CD in, CD in, CD in, a CD in a car stereo and it freaked me out
What he said about love. You were right there, I don’t know where I was
How much do I owe my uncle? I suspect it’s more than I can pay
He gave us a tascam, some maxells, a shure 57 and a stereo delay and we freaked me out
Yeah the hum and the hiss. We were only 16, but we were the shit
