Mama, please let me go to the show
I dig those bad boys playing that rock and roll
No way, son, you can't go out tonight
So I got real upset, put up the biggest fight
Chorus:
Mama, let me go to the show
I dig those bad boys playing that rock and roll
Mama, let me go out tonight
Mama, please, before I lose my mind
Out the window
Shimmy down the tree
I take a look around
make sure no one's watching me
I steal the keys and take
my old man's Chevrolet
I can hear my Mama scream
from ten miles away
Chorus:
Rock and roll rodeo

did you know me
long ago
were we close
before the sorrow
if you thought of leaving any traces
I'll be sifting through the broken places
did I know you
once upon a time
you dreamed of me
and now I'm
searching for myself in strangers' faces
stumbling onto further broken places
she turns purple
am I blue
can't she fathom
what I do

Indian woman, Babylon

we are livin

cuz it won't stop
and when the kind
consciousness
come unto you
you will know
and it won't stop
When i wipe the sleep
from my eyes
will my fondest dream please come true
crush my heart with a hammer
make a purer one
Babylon
Chorus
But mean people
I say choke on it
gagging all the way
may you remember
the texture for days

You know it's alright
Just to take me home
To your serious house, with your serious tones
You're a serious man, with a serious smile
But the summer is hot and I might surprise you
In a very short while we'll have left them behind
With their faces quite pained
As they try to remind themselves
Oh, it's really so wrong
It's really so out
And it's really not cool to take a young girl about
And I know the young man with a century's face
A philosopher king - he will try to amaze
With examples of love and examples of hate
And to see them explode
