lyrics

I want rock and roll,
Loud as my guitar,
I want rock and roll,
Before I go too far

It's not about the sex, the rules, the smell of you
It's not about your skin, your eyes, the fire in the dark
Even if my heart could stop, it's not enough
It’s just that I believe that when I’m with you...I believe, you’re my gateway drug

I believe that lies are cracks in desert sand
That across I walk, you lead with a cooool hand (and I say)

I wanna run,
I wanna run,
I wanna run, I wanna hide,
(I'm) slipping through to the other side
I wanna run

I better cover up my eyes, your lips, sweat drips down
Your coming like a raging fire that scars the sacred ground
I can feel the fever flood of Judas blood
I betray my life...you're a gateway drug

I wanna run,
I wanna run,
I wanna run, I wanna hide,
(I'm) slipping through to the other side
I wanna run

I want rock and roll,
Loud as my guitar,
I want rock and roll,
Before I go too far
I want rock and roll, I want rock and roll,
I want rock and roll, Rock and Roll
Before I fall like a million stars…
