Rocket to Stardom — текст песни (Kris Kristofferson)

By kris kristofferson, roger mcguinn, bobby neuwirth



It started when the neighbors saw my fancy new t.v

That opens up the gate outside my home

And lets me let in anyone I really wanna see

And keep out all them other dudes I dont

Then one by one they started comin over to perform

And someone played "temptation" on kazoo

Nellie got as naked as the day that she was born

And it sure was all over baby blue



Chorus:

Ive got electric eyes, two big dogs, and a mine-field

And miles and miles and miles of barbed-wire fence

But the biggest show in town is in my driveway

And we aint had a good night sleepin since



Orville bakers showin us the fastest draw in town

Cora lees clackin on her spoons

Ol jesses trick dog sure does look dead lyin on the ground

And jesses wife is a-howlin at the moon

Charlys ugly daughter sure can tap dance

Mable thatchers walkin on her hands

And just as I was leavin for the kitchen for a snack

Ol lulla bell amazed us with her fans



Chorus:

Ive got electric eyes, two big dogs, and a mine-field

And miles and miles and miles of barbed-wire fence

But the biggest show in town is in my driveway

And we aint had a good night sleepin since



Froneys got an act thats hard to follow

Norman plays a nimble tamborine

You should see what sara lee can swallow

And ol billy does a wicked "mr. clean"

Good lord, if idve known this future when I started

Believe you me, Id never change a thing

I got a closed circuit circus in my bedroom

And a world full of whackos in the wings



Get em burt !



Chorus:

Ive got electric eyes, two big dogs, and a mine-field

And miles and miles and miles of barbed-wire fence

But the biggest show in town is in my driveway

And we aint had a good nights sleepin since
