Rage of Travers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Close the balcony at the Rainbow
Because the promoter says so
Aviators and a buckskin frontier hat
How come they dress like that?
They break the news to me so gentle
But I start to feel sentimental
This used to be the place to go
Still draw pretty good in Ontario
[Chorus]
Nobody wants to hear the twelve bar blues
From a guy in platform shoes
[Verse 2]

Everyone's dressed up like corpses
I brought my guitar
Set it down by the stage
The singer's locked up in a steel cage
Shaking the bars
Eyes wild with fear
I don't belong here
[Chorus]
Nobody wants to hear the twelve bar blues
From a guy in platform shoes
