I was out on the highway I was out on my feet I was tired and hungry I was late for the meet.
I had a red sky behind me I had the bad guys on my tail I had a hundred different reasons To keep me falling awake I had a red sky behind me With the stars coming into view And the thought that kept me going Was soon I'm gonna make it with you
I had the desert on both sides now I had the lights in my eyes Of the town I remember Up ahead in the cold black sky
I had a red sky behind me I had the bad guys on my tail I had a hundred different reasons To keep me falling awake I had a red sky behind me With the stars coming into view And the thought that kept me going Was soon I'm gonna make it with you
Well I remember that old saying 'bout how good tomorrow will be But will I be lucky to see with a red sky's lucky for me
In my dreams there is a picture of me in a big gold frame And the poeple that I've never seen are pointing at my name
I had a red sky behind me I had the bad guys on my tail I had a hundred different reasons To keep me falling awake I had a red sky behind me With the stars coming into view And the thought that kept me going Was soon I'm gonna make it with you
I had a red sky behind me With the stars coming into view And the thought that kept me going Was soon I'm gonna make it with you
You spend my money, you drink my best red wine You think it's funny to see me all the time Sitting with my head hanging down You treat me just like a clown You spend my money but honey you sure needn't waste my time
When you get older you'll see what you have done You hung on my shoulder and loved me just for fun Someday when I'm older too I'm gonna come and make a fool out of you You spend my money, but honey you sure needn't waste my time
You spend my money, you drink my best red wine You think it's funny to see me all the time Sitting with my head hanging down You treat me just like a clown You spend my money but honey you sure needn't waste my time
Get down deeper and down Down down deeper and down Down down deeper and down Get down deeper and down
I want all the world to see To see you're laughing, and you're laughing at me I can take it all from you Again again again again Again again again and deeper and down
Down down deeper and down Down down deeper and down Down down deeper and down Get down deeper and down
I have all the ways you see To keep you guessing, stop your messing with me You'll be back to find your way Again again again again Again-gain-gain-gain deeper and down
Down down deeper and down Down down deeper and down Down down deeper and down Get down
Get down deeper and down Down down deeper and down Down down deeper and down Get down deeper and down
I have found you out you see I know what you're doing, what you're doing to me I'll keep on and say to you Again again again again Again-gain-gain-gain deeper and down
Down down deeper and down Down down deeper and down Down down deeper and down Get down
I heard you cry tonight while you were sleeping tight What were you dreamin'? Was it another guy and did he make you cry While you were dreamin'? I don't find it easy to say But I think it's right that you have to know
Why won't you understand you're being underhand About your dreamin'? I love you more and more, of that you can be sure, Even your dreamin'. I don't mind if you just say You dream of us both but I have to know You've got to understand you're being underhand about your dreamin'
Dreams, dreams, dreams, some are never long enough Dreams, dreams, dreams, some are never good enough I wonder do, do, do you ever get to sleep at night? Who, who, who is it gonna be tonight?
You've been a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl I do believe it You know you can be sure I want you more and more Can you believe it? I don't find it easy to say But I think it's right that you have to know You've been a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl I do believe it You are a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl Can you believe it? You've been a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl About your dreamin' About your dreamin' About your dreamin'....
I'm gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local DJ Yeah, it's a rockin' rhythm record I want my jockey to play Roll Over Beethoven, gotta hear it again today
You know, my temperature's risin' and the jukebox blowin' a fuse My heart's beatin' rhythm and my soul keeps on singin' the blues Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news
I got the rockin' pneumonia, I need a shot of rhythm and blues I got the rollin' arthiritis sittin' down by the rhythm review Roll Over Beethoven rockin' in two by two
Well, if you feel it and like it Go get your lover And reel and rock it Roll it over and move on up Just a trifle further And reel and rock it, roll one another Roll Over Beethoven, and dig these rhythm and blues
Well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you the warnin' Don't you step on my blue suede shoes Hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my fiddle Ain't got nothin' to lose Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news
You know she wiggles like a glow worm, dance like a spinnin' top She got a crazy partner, oughta see 'em reel and rock Long as she got a dime the music will never stop
Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven Roll Over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues
Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven Roll Over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues

When I look up to the skies I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow I rush home to bed I soak my head I see your face underneath my pillow I wake next morning tired still yawning See your face come peaking through my window Pictures of matchstick men and you Mirages of matchstick men and you All I ever see is them and you
[guitar intro]
Windows echo your reflection When I look in their direction gone When will this haunting stop Your face it just wont leave me a-lone Pictures of matchstick men and you Mirages of matchstick men and you All I ever see is them and you You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie
[guitar intro]
Pictures of matchstick men, Pictures of matchstick...
A vacation in a foreign land, Uncle Sam does the best he can You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Now you remember what the draft man said, nothing to do all day but stay in bed You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
You'll be the hero of the neighbourhood, nobody knows that you've left for good You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Smiling faces as you wait to land, but once you get there no-one gives a damn You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head, if you want to survive get out of bed You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Shots ring out in the dead of night, the sergeant calls 'Stand up and fight!' You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
You've got your orders better shoot on sight, your finger's on the trigger but it don't seem right You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Night is falling and you just can't see, is this illusion or reality? You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army, in the army now You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
