Dolls (Sweet Rock and Roll)

Saw you walking down the street

Holding hands with some other guy

Wearing a sharkskin suit, black patent leather boots

& big brown flying saucer eyes

I didn't talk to you then

You were kissing your friend

Besides it was the wrong time & place

I went home & took a shower

Read"Our Lady Of The Flowers" by Jane Genet

I knew we'd meet again



Dont't want your diamonds

Don't want your gold

I want your love

I want your soul

Come on baby, let's have a good time



Sweet Rock'n'Roll



I searched all over town

Quizzed the dudes hanging around,

No one had ever seen a chick like you before

I hit'strip joints & museums

Bars and Clubs & Jesus

I even prayed in a cathedral for your soul

Then one rainy winter Tuesday

I saw you on the subway

You were headed for the tunnel

Me the door

I pressed my face against the glass

You sped by me in a flash

Like a motorcycle crash

You smoked my skull



Dont't want your diamonds

Don't want your gold

I want your love

I want your soul

Come on baby, let's have a good time



Sweet Rock'n'Roll



Here she comes now



So there I was walking in the pouring rain

Wonderin' who & why & where & what you were

I had hallucinatory dreams

Shivers sweats & screams

Like an opiate withdrawal only worse

Then one long hot summer night

I took a motorcycle ride

Saw you looking mean & evil

Voodoo rockabilly queen

'bout to kickstart your machine

Like a fighter pilot flying off to war

You had a tight black leather jacket

Skull & crossbones on the back

God bless your soul of sweet Gene Vincent

There you were



Dont't want your diamonds

Don't want your gold

I want your love

I want your soul

Come on baby, let's have a good time



Sweet Rock'n'Roll
