Do you pray to someone new
When you’re locked up in the rock
Is the golden age dead and gone
Are the hands stuck on the clock
Can you talk to Buddy’s bones
When you spin a forty five
The king ain’t dead, he’s just asleep
Somewhere in the after life

And look at them boys in leather jackets
Second skin, not fade away
Danger girls love leather jackets
Play back to back, and that’ll be the day
Leather jackets, that’ll be the day

We all need to smell the heat
You know that things go better with chrome
Is Memphis real or just a song
Three thousand miles from home
Be a cool jerk, don’t work
When fashion makes you change
Keep the faith, don’t waste
Another nickel on another name

And idolise twisted cars
Like taxi cabs and spiders
Eternity’s just down the road
They’re looking for more riders
