"Rock And Roll Friend" lyrics

"Rock And Roll Friend"

You're home late and you smell
Of the music that you make
All my patience, all my love
Is now at stake
It amounts to a lot
And it seems
Like I'm trying and you're not

Do something about me
Do something about me
Do something about me
And do it soon my friend
My rock and roll friend

You're an old wreck of a reef
On some lonely god forsaken coast
Return, yeah
To your fans because they need you the most
For I have my use
And I used to have a lot more

Do something about me
Do something about me
Do something about me
And do it soon my friend
My rock and roll friend

Your hands your hands loosen my hair
And pull down both my straps
Urgin ancient motions now
Lovers have to do their laps
Come here, come hither
My only loved one

Do something about me
Do something about me
Do something about me
And do it soon my friend
My rock and roll friend
