I can read your lips
I can read your mind
It's all I want to hear
Why am I so blind?

And the way we were
Fatefully entwined
In a shameless world
Rock 'n roll desire

All the things you are
In a single word
Famously inspired
Privately absurd

And the way we were
Fatefully entwined
In a shameless world
Rock 'n roll desire

And the days go by
Morning noon and night
Permanently wired
To the simple life

And the way we were
Fatefully entwined
In a shameless world
Rock 'n roll desire
Rock 'n roll desire
