Knucklebones

David Lee Roth · Skyscraper [1990]

When the fire burns

'Neath a zombie moon

Ya feel the winds of change

On the drums will tell the tune

And you know it's true



Can ya feel the heat

Of the setting sun

Burning up the streets

This beat has got mixed blood

And I know it too



But now her mama's got the eyes

Like she's workin' on a heart attack

A fella never can tell

And i'm about to go bananas

With the "when ya comin' back?"



So we're hittin' the road

And we're pumpin' thunder

Mama look out for down below

Get the show on the road

It's the feeling we're under

You can feel it right down

To your knucklebones



One of these dark nights

As the saying goes

There's some dirty work

To be done down by the crossroads

And I know it's true



Ain't no use waitin'

For your invitation

King kong never had it so clean

We'll do the Fat cat shake

We'll have our cake and eat it too

You could never, no, no, no, never,

Beat this squeeze!



So we're hittin' the road

And we're pumpin' thunder

Mama look out for down below

Get the show on the road

It's really no wonder

You can feel it right down

To your knucklebones



Must be the heat

Stop dreamin' and start drivin' Stevie!
