Do you pray to someone new
When you're locked up in the rock
Is the golden age dead and gone

Are the hands stuck on the clock
Can you talk to Buddy's bones
When you spin a forty five

The king ain't dead, he's just asleep
Somewhere in the after life


And look at them boys in leather jackets
Second skin, not fade away
Danger girls love leather jackets

Play back to back, and that'll be the day
Leather jackets, that'll be the day


We all need to smell the heat
You know that things go better with chrome
Is Memphis real or just a song

Three thousand miles from home
Be a cool jerk, don't work
When fashion makes you change

Keep the faith, don't waste
Another nickel on another name


And idolise twisted cars
Like taxi cabs and spiders
Eternity's just down the road

They're looking for more riders
