My Soul Is Rock and RollI drumbeat your heartbeat
Sweat beating off body heat
I red dye your blue sky
With thunderbolt electrify
Play until my fingers numb
The fine hairs of your eardrums
And rapture into a new verse
Onto your flawless miss universe
My voice caresses the airwaves
All I want is for you to believe
When you...

Rock and RollRock and Roll
Feed me things
That keep me awake
I feel alive
What a perfect date
False friends
Within my circle
False visions
I can't escape
Line after line
Star amongst the sky
Strung out, supernova
Reaching for that first glorious high
Tears welling up
Filling my guitar moon
No more strings to pick
No music to brew
I was born...

Rock and Rolla deck of cards
a roll of dices
monopoly
you go to jail
an other chance
you hopscotch the streets
or should I say the side walk
as for ever you liked the games
of chance and scrabble
your brain to understand
the meaning of all
the avenue looks pretty good
from the stoops with...

Rock and Roll RideWe tuned our guitars, we're ready to play our tune.
On a rock & roll ride.Guitar slide to the moon.
Heavy metal, hard rock & roll.
There's enough music to sooth the soul.
We got enough time, to reach the moon.
We got enough time, to play our tune.
Heavy metal,...

A Rock and Roll OdysseyI had a disagreement the other day
with my pal Floyd who passed my way
He brought his new sculpture for me to see
Floyd's a fine artist, on that we agree
"Wow" said I, "It's an Iron Butterfly"
"He'll soar with The Eagles right up to the sky"
Said Floyd...

Oh, No, She's Stopping Now. (Song To a Rock and Roll Beat)I heard drums kick in. Now I hear that music. Wait, What's THAT?!
(Sung to HELLO, I LOVE YOU by the Doors.)
Oh, yeah, she's swaying, so get out of her way.
Oh, no, she's stopping now, she's looking my way.
Oh, yeah, sashaying and she won't be defied.
Oh,...

That Was Rock and RollBill Haley gave us 'Rock Around The Clock'
showed us music in a different way,
Chuck Berry sang 'Johnny B. Goode'
and Buddy Holly said 'That'll Be The Day'.
Elvis went to 'Heartbreak Hotel'
and came back as the king of pop,
Jerry Lee sent us 'Great Balls Of Fire'
while Danny...

Rock and RollMy feet are on the Rock
And my name is on the Roll
When I gave my heart to JESUS
He became my cornerstone
Yes, an angel wrote it
In a book of solid gold
My feet are on the Rock
And my name is on the Roll

Mr Rock and RollHere comes Mr rock and roll
who thinks its cool to be alone
I wonder if he thinks the same
Seven years to the day.
Walking down the street again
trying to find some friends to see
wondering why
No body interesting in you today.
When that day comes around
The words in...

IT'S ONLY ROCK AND ROLLIT’S ONLY ROCK AND ROLL
“I know it’s only rock ‘n’ roll”
The music genre that emerged
In the early to mid-fifties
Called rock music in mid-sixties
With a back beat and a dance rhythm
I know it’s only rock ‘n’ roll
“I wanna rock and roll all night”
To this edgy style...

I Grew Up On Country MusicI Grew Up on Country Music
When Rock and Roll was king
My friends all liked the Beatles
But, that was not my thing
I liked to hear the fiddle
To hear the joy burst from the strings
I Grew Up on Country Music
When Rock and Roll was king
I remember me...

Rock Concert CrowdSilhouettes in fume thump to a doom,
They stomp with the rhythm of drums,
They point to the sky and spread open wide,
Their wrists and fingers and thumbs,
These thousands of people joined at the hip,
Joined by a common desire,
To lose themselves in the roar...

You Were Always On My MindMaybe I didn't listen when you told me
Your heart was gentle and kind
Maybe I didn't understand, but you could
have shown me...
All the reasons you were going to move on
All the feelings that were finally gone
All the chances I had actually blown!
Maybe I didn't know you
because...

Echoes of the Angel's FallenInvocation to the Muse
From the gleaming skin of life’s underbelly,
sin unreconciled, formed from Nephilim seed,
fleet footed jokers mask pawns into flight;
To the epistle of the Most High.
For in the beginning, the true and only God,
In natural progression sheds
His most prized adversary.
Begin, now, that...
