A letra:
Oh yeah
I hear you
talking
When I'm on the street
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't
hardly speak
I was making
love last night
To a dancer friend of mine
I can't seem to stay
in step
Come every time that she pirouettes over me
And I only
get my rocks off
While 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 fuckin' feed
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
But I only
get my rocks off
While I'm dreaming
I only get my rocks
off
While I'm sleeping
Feel so
hypnotized, can't describe the scene
It's all mesmerized, all that
inside me
The sunshine bores the daylights out of me
Chasing
shadows, moonlight mystery
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
And I only
get my rocks off
While I'm dreaming
I only get my rocks
off
While I'm sleeping
And I only
get my rocks off
While I'm dreaming
And I only get my rocks
off
While I'm sleeping
Only get
them off
Only get them off
Get them off
Only get them off,
get them off
Only get them off
