Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was gripped with a bit of fear Worried the one thing that I loved Back when I was just a kid Might now never be enough That the body I was in Might belong to someone else Someone kinder Someone surer Someone innocent Young and beautiful Someone purer But that's no-one I know [Verse 2] I was scratching at my skin Hopin changes would begin But what laid beneath was blood Well of course What the hell was I thinking of Won't you take me down to the creek Wash away our sins of sleep I feel so tired As though I might Not wake at all on the other side That's no way to go That's no way to go That's no way to go [Pre-Chorus] Oh my dear one Bathe me in your glow Cut out my lonely heart And bury it in the snow Nothing really means nothing Is the saddest thing I know So deliver me from sin And give me rock and roll [Chorus] Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh Give me rock and roll Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh [Verse 3] And in the morning there'll be hope And in the morning there'll be light And if I sleep and dream up a system A solution To fend off perils of the night Come morning, I'll be born again Born again as someone else Someone kinder Someone surer Someone beautiful Someone purer And when I am you'll know And when I am you'll know And when I am you'll know And when I am you'll know [Pre-Chorus 2] Almighty one The devil knows my name Will salvation come And wash away my pain? For I was once a kid With a pure and innocent soul So deliver me from sin And give me rock and roll [Chorus] Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh Give me rock and roll, give me rock and roll And a pure and innocent soul, and a pure and innocent soul Give me rock and roll, give me rock and roll And a pure and innocent soul, and a pure and innocent soul And a pure and innocent soul, and a pure and innocent soul Soul, and a pure and innocent soul, and a pure and innocent soul And a pure and innocent soul
