lyrics

ROCK N’ ROLL MAKES A POOR MISTRESS

I thought when I left my home
That I would never be alone
I cared not what friends and family said
I’d make a killing with my head
Family is my rock
Rock n’ roll is my mistress
She makes a poor lover
When she’s constantly been ignored and dismissed
So pull the plane away
As God is my witness
I’m going to struggle to make the dance
And do it all in the name of romance
But rock n’ roll makes a poor mistress
Rock n’ roll demands a lot
A bruised up body, a melting pot
To throw your whimsical fantasies in
And see if it returns or not
Family is my rock
Rock n’ roll is my mistress
She makes a poor lover
When she’s constantly been ignored and dismissed
So pull the plane away
As God is my witness
I’m going to struggle to make the dance
And do it all in the name of romance
But rock n’ roll makes a poor mistress
