John LennonAbout

Steel and Glass Lyrics
[Intro]
This is a story about your friend and mine
Who is it, who is it, who is it?
[Verse 1]
There you stand with your L.A. tan
And your New York walk and your New York talk

[Chorus]
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
[Verse 2]
Your phone don't ring, no one answers your call
How does it feel to be off the wall
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]

[Chorus]
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass

If I want to write a ‘down’ song, I would...
