Rockola

from The Desert Years by Burnt Norton

/

lyrics

They gave you a name, and painted your face. Told you the rules of the game, then left without a trace. When you were born into light they said that you'd prefer night. Well you don't need to do the things they're asking of you. Sipping on cherry cola, watching the old rockola. Just keep pounding the classics, we can keep dancing till things get drastic.

I saw a picture of you when you were falling in love. Your pale shaking hands catching snow from above.

And you were stronger than me right from the start. You're already undressed and I've barely the heart.

When you were born into light they said that you'd prefer night. Well you don't need to do the things they're asking of you. Sipping on cherry cola, watching the old rockola. Just keep pounding the classics, we can keep dancing till things get drastic. Keep pumping the old rockola.
