You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town."

Rain falls hard
Burns dry
A dream
Or a song
That hits you so hard
Filling you up
And suddenly gone
Give Free
Know in you soul
Like your blood knows the way
From you heart to your brain
Know that you're whole
Like the brightest star
A transmission
On the midnight radio
And you're spinning
Like a 45
Ballerina
Dancing to your rock and roll
And Tina
And Yoko
Aretha
And Nona
And Nico
And me
You know you're doing all right
So hold on to each other
You gotta hold on tonight
Like the brightest stars
A transmission
On the midnight radio
Your new 45's
All the misfits and the losers
Yeah, you know you're rock and rollers
Spinning to your rock and roll
