Black: History Of Rock And Roll - Tekst piosenki

Showered with offers at twenty-one
By the age of twenty-two
She is nearly long gone
They keep calling her the heir
To the rock and roll crown
Now the weights so heavy
It was dragging her down
Wants it till she?s got it
Then tries to run away
A hunger so deep
It can never go away
No way to fill in
To turn down the dial
Below the limit
If she could only stop
From crying
She say?s I love him
He?s that kind to be clever
When I ready
Make it soon make it better
She?s wanted him for so long
She?s forgotten how it goes
This is the history of rock and roll
All fucked-up
Can?t even see to write
A forty-four magnum
On the passenger side
Popes a tablet for the cramping
But just wont fade
She starts hearing things she used to say
To love you is to surrender
It?s the need to loss
To what to step inside
A kind of raging feud
Between the see and the sky
My head and my heart
And choosing which of them is blowing me apart
He says I want her
Want her so much I can taste her
When I?m sleeping
She the scale of the ether
How much is it worth
If it free I just don?t know
This is the history of rock and roll
Haunted by images
The planets turning
The sun going down
On Mississippi burning
Only darkness has the power
To make her open up her heart
Played it to a world as though their only tears for crying
We want the future
Maybe soon maybe never
When we?re ready
And we act like we hate it
How much is it worth
If it free we?ll never don?t know
This is the history of rock and roll
