Rock ‘N’ Roll Suicide (Live ’74)

[Piano Intro]

[Verse 1]
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Oh oh, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide

[Verse 2]
You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide

[Verse 3]
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
Don't let the milk float ride your mind
You're so natural, religiously unkind

[Chorus]
Oh no love! You're not alone
You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
You've got your head all tangled up
But if I could only make you care

Oh no love! You're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you've seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain

[Outro]
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone!
All you've gotta do is just turn on me
You're not alone
Just turn on with me
You're not alone
Oh you're wonderful
And you're wonderful
Hey
Hey 'cause you're wonderful

[Audience Applause]
