What's the matter with the boy? He don't come around no more ?

A - A G - D

Is he checking out for sure? Is he gonna close the door on me?

I was making love last night to a dancer friend of mine,

I can't seem to stay in step,

'cause she come ev'ry time that she pirouettes over me.

But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.

3. I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed.

G A D

plug in, flush out and fire the fuckin' feed.

G - G

Heading for the overload, splattered on the dirty road,

A

kick me like you've kicked before,

A G - D

I can't even feel the pain no more.

But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,

G D

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.

Feel so hypnotized, can't describe the scene,

it’s all mesmerized all that inside me.

chasing shadows, moonlight mystery.

Headed for the overload, splattered on the dirty road,

A

kick me like you've kicked before,

A G - D

I can't even feel the pain no more.

But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.
