Lyrics to Rocks Off
Oh yeah

I hear you talking when I'm on the street
Well, your mouth don't move, but I can hear you speak
What's the matter with the boy?
He don't come around no more
Is he checking out for sure?
Is he gonna close the door on me?

I'm always hearing voices on the street
I want to shout, but I can hardly speak
I was making love last night
To a dancer friend of mine
I can't seem to stay in step
But she comes every time that she pirouettes over me

And I only get my rocks off when I'm dreaming
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping

I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed
Plug in, flush out and fire the fucking feed, whoo
Heading for the overload
Splattered on the dirty road
Kick me like you've kicked before
I can't even feel the pain no more

Only get my rocks off when I'm dreaming
Only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping

Feel so hypnotized, I can't describe the scene, oh
I feel so mesmerized, all that inside me
I said, inside of me

The sunshine bores the daylights out of me
Chasing shadows, moonlight mystery
Heading for a overload
Splattered on a dirty road
Kick, kick, kick like you've kicked before
Can't even feel the pain no more

Only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming
Only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping
Only get my rocks off when I'm dreaming
Only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping

(Only get 'em off, only get 'em off, get 'em off)
(Only get 'em off, get 'em off, only get 'em off)
(Only get 'em off, only get 'em off, get 'em off)
(Only get 'em off, get 'em off, only get 'em off)
(Only get 'em off, only get 'em off, get 'em off)
(Only get 'em off, get 'em off, only get 'em off)
