Saw you walking down the street Holding hands with some other guy Wearing a sharkskin suit, black patent leather boots & big brown flying saucer eyes I didn't talk to you then You were kissing your friend Besides it was the wrong time & place I went home & took a shower Read"Our Lady Of The Flowers" by Jane Genet I knew we'd meet again
Dont't want your diamonds Don't want your gold I want your love I want your soul Come on baby, let's have a good time
Lalalalalalalala Sweet Rock'n'Roll
So I searched all over town, dudes hanging around, No one had ever seen a chick like you before. I hit strip joints and museums, bars and clubs and - jesus - I even prayed in a cathedral for your soul. Then one rainy winter Tuesday I saw you on the subway You were heading for the tunnel near the door. I pressed my face against the glass, you sped by me in a flash Like a motorcycle crash you smoked my skull.
Dont't want your diamonds Don't want your gold I want your love I want your soul Come on baby, let's have a good time
Lalalalalalalala Sweet Rock'n'Roll
Here she comes now
So there I was again walking in the pouring rain Wonderin' who & why & where & what you were I had hallucinatory dreams Shivers sweats & screams Like an opiate withdrawal only worse Then one long hot summer night I took a motorcycle ride Saw you looking mean & evil Spitting fire from your eyes Like a rockabilly queen, 'bout to kickstart your machine Like a fighter pilot flying off to war You had a tight black leather jacket Skull & crossbones on the back God bless your soul of sweet Gene Vincent There you were!
Don't want your diamonds Don't want your gold I want your love I want your soul Come on baby, let's have a good time
