lyrics

when the lights go down
out come the stars
from london to lubbock
venus and mars
followin’ the sound that never gets old
searchin’ for a savior name of rock and roll

transmitting satellites
tuning in tunes
on transistor radio station MOON
thru the static and the noise they still could hear
those super hits from the vinyl frontier

THEY CAME TO ROCK!

down at the cavern all dressed in black
wearin’ neptune heels and a mercury stack
around the 12th bar v.u. meter in the red
out popped the boy with the amplifier head singing:
klaatu barada nikto, man
a wop bi bop a lu bop a wop bam
go johnny go
hail hail rock n roll
yeah yeah yeah oooh!
THEY CAME TO ROCK!
