Rockettown

I hope I'm like the 'stranger' in Rockettown... enjoy the lyrics!!


A Friday night affair out in the city heat,
Always a party there along the sordid street.
And it was guaranteed the place to be was Rockettown.

The drinks were two for one inside the crowded bars-
The girls would make their run out on the boulevard.
It was the idol place. We lived the ways of Rockettown.
Hang around by the street light in the heart of the night life.

There came a certain man- a stranger to the crowd,
We didn't understand what he was all about.
He walked a different pace so out of place in Rockettown...

They made a fool of him; they teased him when he'd speak
But when they knocked him down, He'd turn the other cheek
He told me I could find a life outside of Rockettown

What was his mission? Where was he going?
Why was his heart light always glowing?
All I was missing He stood there holding
What was his secret? Could I know it?

Some didn't like him near, some laughed and turned away.
But me, I longed to hear all that he had to say.
He had a peace of mind I couldn't find in Rockettown.
And when I reached down inside me, I could feel the emptiness

He said it's in the heart- this change that comes to be
Now he had done his part, the choice was up to me
As we were standing there He said a prayer for Rockettown

He walked off silently
And prayed for me
And Rockettown...
