public vices, private woes

from Song​-​A​-​Day by Bill White

/

lyrics

i rode the nighmare on hoof beats
screamed and screamed and screamed and screamed
played it loud abused the crowd
kicked the pogo with my sounds

goin home my head was achin
laid in bed my heart was breakin
in rock and roll thats how it goes
public vices, private woes

my back up singers couldnt sing
gave them each a wedding ring
dumped them off on a streen corner
sucking plums just like jack horner

i hit the road a lonely soldier
a guitar hanging from my shoulder
in rock and roll thats how it goes
public vices, private woes


i sang for 80,000 people
from the top of a church steeple
blacked out halfway through the show
where i woke up, god only knows

i was the eater of the fire
falling down and getting higher
in rock and roll thats how it goes
public vices, private woes
