| Lyrics: | Blue Oyster Cult - )
In a dark horse town, in the middle of the west
Where Friday
takes so long to arrive
Johnny wakes up dreaming and turns on the radio
The he jumps
up playin' his guitar in the mirror
Starts his day with a rock and roll pulse
Tonight's
the night that Suzy and he
Are goin' to a rock and roll show
Tonight, I'm gonna see
some rock and roll
Yeah, my favorite group is playin'
Tonight, I'm gonna see some rock and
roll
Well it's showtime, and he's caught up in the crowd
He hates the crush, but he
loves the music loud
He reaches out, but Suzy's disappeared,
Now Johnny's standin'
on a corner, after the show
Lookin' for his Suzy dear
But there goes his Suzy in the
band's limousine, yeah
Well that's the way it goes at these rock and roll
shows
That's the way it goes
It's rock and roll
Well, that's the way it
goes
It's rock and roll
Now Suzy's gone, and Johnny hears a thunder
As he rolls
another number and he counts
He counts the times he's dreamt himself to be the
hero
'Cause then when Suzy (was a bore??)
He's heard about adventure
As he
looks into the mirror now he knows
He must be the star and play guitar like thunder
And
find Suzy at his rock and roll show
Boy, if I only had a good guitar and a big
amp
Boy, it wouldn't be somebody else takin' my girl away
I tell ya, I know what I should
do
I'll put an ad in the paper, and get a few other guys
Who wanna play as much as I
do
I tell ya, I ain't playin' no surf music
I'm gonna play some heavy music
I'm gonna
play bad, I'm gonna play loud
I know just what I want it to sound like
It's gonna sound
like, it's gonna sound like -
(...guitar solo...)
This is Don
Kirshner
And tonight on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert
A new phenomenon in the music
world
With six million albums to his credit in just two short years
My good friend, here's
Johnny
Now Johnny became a legend in his time
Found it easier to live in
pain
Half-a-hero in a hard-hearted game
Now it's showtime, and he's caught up in the
glow
He hates the rush but he needs the music so
Still he reaches out, but Suzy's
disappeared
Well that's the way it goes at these rock and roll shows
It's rock and
roll
That's the way it goes, it's rock and roll (repeat |
