What's this about limits? Sorry, I don't know none What's this about some dB limit? Sorry, I can't hear none You can take a little cruise Down the river of booze Act all poor and defeated Shout to the mountain Some boo-hoo blues But I'll stand here and repeat it: I'm an earth rocker! Everybody hear me now? Bloo-ahh! I'm an earth rocker! Everybody get the message? Bloo-ahh! If you're gonna do it Do it live on stage Or don't do it at all If you're gonna do it You better take it to the stage Or don't do it at all I will suffer no evil My guitar will guide me through I will suffer no evil And this time, I want to hear it from you I'm an earth rocker! Everybody hear me now? Bloo-ahh! I'm an earth rocker! Everybody get the message? Bloo-ahh! B-B-B-Break it down To brass tacks B-B-B-Break it down To just the facts I don't need your stinking laminate I don't need your VIP I don't need your validation 'Cause I wear mine on the sleeve Don't look to me for answers 'Cause I don't got a one I just came to have a good time And I'm gonna have one Yes, I've lost many battles And even more days But if I had to do it over I'd do it just the same 'Cause I'm an earth rocker! Everybody hear me now? Bloo-ahh! I'm an earth rocker! Everybody get the message? Bloo-ahh-ha-ha-ha-ha! I'm an earth rocker! Understand? Bloo-ahh! I'm an earth rocker! Everybody get the message? Bloo-ahh-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Peacekeeping agents from several futures They got a warrant out, some judge's letter What it is I'm going to do, I haven't done They got their probabilities, but I got something much better My Rocket 88, fastest in the land Crucial, crucial velocity! My Rocket 88, fastest in the land Crucial, crucial velocity! People keep saying, "You got to quit all your lying" But cheating and lying people is all I've ever known People keep telling me this and that and this and that 'Cause "this and that" people is all they've ever known Does it really matter how it all started? Does it really matter how it's gonna end? Reality is getting too damn unpredictable Unpredictable times call for the reliable friend My Rocket 88, fastest in the land Crucial, crucial velocity! My Rocket 88, fastest in the land Crucial, crucial velocity! Step on it! Everybody, everybody keeps telling me "Neil, you got to quit your low-down ways" So, I ask them if they have the solution And they just shake their heads and slowly walk away My Rocket 88, fastest in the land Crucial, crucial velocity! My Rocket 88, fastest in the land Crucial, crucial velocity! My Rocket 88, fastest in the land Crucial, crucial velocity! My Rocket 88, fastest in the land Crucial, crucial velocity!

The burden of a time lord Is there's never any time Too much of eternity And nowhere to unwind Hobgoblins and morris men Fighting in the streets Hot continuum breakdown Give them lightning! Waiting on the corner For the Swiss Guard to arrive, to arrive And when they do, we'll battle them And rattle them Halberd versus mind versus mind Once more unto the breach! Like the Gutenberg Bible We're the m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-moveable type Very transient, very influential Like the large hadron collider The m-m-m-m-m-m-m-more you see The less you understand The atmosphere's getting volatile Waiting on the corner For the Swiss Guard to arrive, to arrive And when they do, we'll battle them And rattle them Halberd versus mind versus mind Once more unto the breach! Go! D-D-D-D-Dalek goon squad Blackshirt master Hit 'em where it hurts Full-on psychic blaster Plague doctors and subhumans Can you feel the heat? The atmosphere's getting hectic The atmosphere's getting volatile Waiting on the corner For the Swiss Guard to arrive, to arrive And when they do, we'll battle them And rattle them Halberd versus mind versus mind Once more unto the breach! Once more unto the breach! Once more unto the breach!

Swan boats in daisy chains Can't seem to recall My true given name I see my footprints How they come, how they go Was that yesterday? Or only a moment ago? My heart is gone I gone cold My heart is gone I gone cold The past gives way To a cold winter field The ground below Hard as steel Beyond the hill A distant song But that hill Keeps going on and on My heart is gone I gone cold My heart is gone I gone cold Swan boats in daisy chains Can't seem to recall Any given name I see the footprints How they come, how they go Was that only a moment? Or many years ago? My heart is gone I gone cold My heart is gone I gone cold My heart is gone I gone cold My heart is gone I gone cold

They arrive on a sunny day Offering the residents a better way Before you know it, you're in line And chanting refrain They reel you in And then they drown you out First, they tell ya "You're gonna lose your soul" And then they tell ya "Find another home" And then ya take a good look around And they stole your rock and roll And once it's gone, you'll never get it back One thousand Les Pauls Burning in a field What rabid religion Poisons their minds? One thousand Jazzmasters Thrown into the sea What measure of madness Governs their time? All right In the beginning There was void The hand moved over Then there was noise Fire and water Heaven and stone Radio kings Hammer and throne One thousand Les Pauls Smolder in a field What measure of madness Fastens their hearts? One thousand Jazzmasters Sunk down to the bottom of the sea What rabid religion Drives them apart? In the beginning There was void The face moved over Then there was noise Fire and water Heaven and stone Radio kings Hammer and throne Uncounted Les Pauls Ascend to the sky Where there was darkness Now only light Uncounted Jazzmasters Rising up from the bottom of the sea The wicked are leveled The righteous are free Uncounted Les Pauls Explode and take flight Where there was darkness Now only light Uncounted Jazzmasters Erupting from the bottom of the sea The wicked are leveled The righteous are free

Ratted out in Hades Forced to return to Rockville With nothing but a rucksack Hard lesson learned Foul council of leeches What silence and bedlam Take refuge and a dagger to the bites Then suck out the venom Oh, Isabella Your ship's run aground Kneel at the sword Scream at the clouds Oh, Isabella There's smoke on the wind Terror and fever Have taken your men Running on the tightrope Woven by spider While the canyon teeming with shoppers Grows wider and wider What demon's possessing The clock and the compass? Surrender, run headlong to the void The reptile's among us Oh, Isabella Your ship's run aground Kneel at the sword Scream at the clouds Oh, Isabella There's smoke on the wind Terror and fever Have taken your men Chained to the oxcart With a chest full of arrows The villagers are burdened with cedar By back and by barrow Scrub brush from the wasteland Snake in a tree Remember when they throw the torches in Breathe, breathe, breathe Oh, Isabella Your ship's run aground Kneel at the sword Scream at the clouds Oh, Isabella There's smoke on the wind Terror and fever Have taken your men Oh, Isabella Your ship's run aground Kneel at the sword Scream at the clouds Oh, Isabella There's smoke on the wind Terror and fever Have taken your men
