Lyrics
Yé, yé, rock 'n' roll
C'mon, c'mon, rock 'n' roll
Yé, yé, rock 'n' roll
Y'always did it for me
C'mon, c'mon, rock 'n' roll
Still doing it for me
Six o'clock, another morning
Standing like a dog each day
Light creeps underneath the awning
Slaps my sleeping face awake
Your breath, it fills me like the morning
Your body fills me with the night
And Monday hears the weekend calling
Break out, babe
Let's hit the red lights
Alright
All night
Yé, yé, rock 'n' roll
Y'always do it for me
C'mon, c'mon, rock 'n' roll
Still doing it for me
Coats still hanging in the hallway
Empty of their human shape
The bodies that once filled them
Left behind a hole in space
See, it gets so hard to stay alive sometimes
Some days you can barely face
But it's not you that feels so lonely
I'm told it's everybody
In the human race
They're outta place
In outer space
Yé, yé, rock 'n' roll
Y'always do it for me
C'mon, c'mon, rock 'n' roll
You're still doing it for me
Yé, yé, rock 'n' roll
Y'always did it for me
C'mon, c'mon, rock 'n' roll
You're still doing it to me
And I find the inner hope
Gonna get some rock 'n' roll
Gonna turn it to 101
Work through the farm
'Til your mind is so calm
With the thought of despair
Yé, yé, rock 'n' roll
Yé, yé, rock 'n' roll
Yé, yé, rock 'n' roll
Yé, yé, rock 'n' roll
C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon
Yé, yé, rock 'n' roll
Y'always did it for me
C'mon, c'mon, rock 'n' roll
