"Rocks Off" lyrics

Rocks Off

I hear you talking
When I'm on the street
Your mouth don't move
But I can hear you speak

What's the matter with the boy?
He don't come around no more
Is he checking out for sure?
Is he gonna close the door on me?

And I'm always hearing
Voices on the street
I want to shout
But I can't hardly speak

I was making love last night
To a dancer friend of mine
I can't seem to stay in step
Cause she come every time
That she pirouettes over me

And I only get my rocks off
While I'm dreaming
I only get my rocks off
While I'm sleeping

I'm zipping through the days
At lightning speed
Plug in, flush out
And fire the fucking feed

Heading for the overload
Splattered on the dusty road
Kick me like you've kicked before
I can't even feel the pain no more

But I only get my rocks off
While I'm dreaming
I only get my rocks off
While I'm sleeping

Feel so hypnotized
Can't describe the scene
Feel so mesmerized
All that inside me

The sunshine bores
The daylights out of me
Chasing shadows
Moonlight mystery

Headed for the overload
Splattered on the dirty road
Kick me like you've kicked before
I can't even feel the pain no more

And I only get my rocks off
While I'm dreaming
I only get my rocks off
While I'm sleeping

I only get my rocks off
While I'm dreaming
Yeah, I only get my rocks off
While I'm sleeping
