rocket boys ready to lift off
gettin’ in that state of mind
cruisin’ altitude for the moon rocks
no seat belts on the number 9
5-4-3-2-1 go wild
rocket boys don’t go easy
and they don’t do what they are told
loud fast hard and greasy
with a pocketful of soul
twistin’ and shoutin’ go wild
rocket boys down at the launch pad
are you ready for their rock n roll
fast eddie front of the house said
“git yer hands off of my controls”
if somebody says to turn down
they go wild

Peppermint Kicks

guitar licks and peppermint kicks now
amplifier heads and a pocket full of picks
sullivan shindig hullabaloo
top of the pops where the action is too
the story that is now now
has been told before
put that needle down now
play that record just once more
tuning up is a turning trick
an A sus chord on a 12 string Rick
is like a little bit o’ dope to take away your sick
get your matches ready
the lights are about to go down
the boys r back in town
the story that is now now
has been told before
put that needle down down
play that record just once more
the story that is old now
had all been said before
and in some basement room now
a drummer counts to 4

watching the midnight special on a friday night
the new york dolls, t rex, alright
GlamOrama

shoutin’ rebel rebel in ’74
circus mag, boones farm and weed
alice cooper, mott, slade, lou reed
GlamOrama
GlamOrama
GlamOrama
oh she vowed we were about to go out steady
all the while she was being wowed by freddie
saw the hoople in ’73 we were ready
when the lights went down
this is for everyone out there left alive
who dug fox on the run in ’75
now all their kids are learning licks
from a rock n roll record by the peppermint kicks

Rock N' Roll Anesthesia

up on eutaw street
he got himself an SG guitar
broken string finger prick and a tortoise shell pick
and a head full o’ stars
he got a brand new record
and a rolled up sleeve
he’s waiting for the needle to hit
looking for rock n roll anesthesia
just a short cut outta town
rock n roll anesthesia
he’s a 3/4 road case
full blown head case
a face full of scars
down in de-basement
teenage wasteland
“I’ll be up in a minute Ma!”
got a brand new record
and a rolled up sleeve
still waiting for the needle to hit
hoping for rock n roll anesthesia
just a short cut outta town
rock n roll anesthesia

candi is a girl who likes the roller coaster
only when it’s going down
candi keeps a windmill right upon her shoulder
just to blow her thoughts around
candi hitched a ride with another scar scraper
searching for some killer brown
candi is the queen of dreaming on the sofa
but never has she worn the crown
"you know sometimes a screw is just a screw
that’s driving in the side of you
sometimes you hit the nail on the head"
candi is a girl who likes the roller coaster
only when it’s going down

The House Of Young Dolls

hey don’t you ever get tired of the game
this town looks better in the rain you know
makes sense although the scent is still the same
we had added our names to the list
but you can’t get in lookin’ like this you know
the winter snow was all full of needles and piss
all the things you keep and throw away
divided by the words that you say
are multiplied by dreams of those who’ve stayed
at the house of young dolls
you were ringing in the new year all alone
with that bell you stole when you were stoned you know
salvation army clothes fit your bag of bones
i was crashing in a room downtown
trying to keep a little something down you know
i felt as though a sorry wretched clown
one day everything will turn around
but hope is out of fashion in this town
and all of the gates are frozen now
at the house of young dolls
hey you is there anybody we can call
any place you know at all to go
for the doors have closed at the house of young dolls

have a haldol martini
you’re tired like bancini
ever dreamt of cutting your lines?
do you think there is a heaven?
cuz the devil comes at seven
for that shot of thorazine up your behind
hey move over
there’s a midget on your shoulder
and he looks a lot like me
bat shit crazy
well the clocks have all stopped moving here
no sign of improving yeah
maybe you’re really ok?
your light is dimming
stop that incessant grinning
all your fish are swimming away
hey there kiddo
wontcha jump out of the window
and see if you can really fly
bat shit crazy
catatonia paralyzed
gone over to the other side
maybe it’s better that way?
sectioned to the lindemann
conversing with the slippermen
rendered inconsolable and dismayed
maybe you’re habitual
transcending the unusual
welcome to the closing of the play
bat shit crazy

it wasn’t the blues or a blown fuse
nor the needle in the red
t’was the silent sound of madness
even the radio went dead
and the newspapers sighed
there’d be no encore the concert promoter said
thru blown out speakers
the rest in pieces
the amp has lost it’s head
big willy johnson went home all alone
with a guitar and a suitcase and a megaphone
and in the back of the econoline van
the amplifier man
made his final stand
at the merry go round
a majestic sight in the arena light
he came out swinging with all his might
and the champ was not that loud
but man he sure was proud
as he took a final bow
at the concertgebouw
it wasn’t the blues or a blown fuse
nor the needle in the red
it was the silent sound of madness
even the radio went dead
and the newspapers cried
there’d be no encore the concert promoter said
thru blown out speakers
the rest in pieces
the amp has lost it’s head
it wasn’t the blues or a blown fuse
nor the needle in the red
it was the silent sound of madness
even the radio went dead
and the newspapers sighed
there’d be no encore the stage announcer said
thru blown out speakers
the rest in pieces
the amp has lost it’s head

on the moon
on the moon
nobody is uptight
everyone here is staying
cause you know that it’s outta sight
on the moon
on the moon
there are bands that play all night
everyone hears what they’re playing
and you know that is outta sight
on the moon
on the moon
it's peaceful as can be
and no one down below can bother me
on the moon
on the moon
it's peaceful as can be
and no one down below can bother me
on the moon
on the moon
everything’s lit at night
everyone here is swaying
cause you know that it’s outta sight
