There's a black cat down on the quayside Ship's lights, green eyes glowing in the dark Two young cops handing out a beating Know how to hurt and leave no mark Down in the half-lit bar of the hotel There's a call for the last round of the day Push back the stool, take that elevator ride Fall in bed and kick my shoes away Kick my shoes away, kick my shoes away Rocks on the road, yeah Can't sleep through the wild sound of the city Hear a car full of young boys heading for a fight Long distance telephone keeps ringing out engaged Wonder who you're talking with tonight, talking with tonight Who you talking with tonight? Rocks on the road, yeah Tired plumbing wakes me in the morning Shower runs hot, runs cold playing with me Well, I'm up for the down side, life's a ***** And all that stuff So come and shake some apples from my tree Have to pay for my mini bar madness Itemized phone bill overload Well now, how about some heavy rolling? Move these rocks on the road, on the road Rocks on the road Crumbs on the breakfast table And a million other little things to spoil my day Now how about a little light music To chase it all away? Chase it all away There's a black cat down on the quayside Ship's lights, green eyes glowing in the dark Two young cops handing out a beating Know how to hurt an' leave no mark Down in the half-lit bar of the hotel There's a call for the last round of the day Push back the stool, take that elevator ride Fall in bed and kick my shoes away Kick my shoes away, kick my shoes away Rocks on the road Kick my shoes away, kick my shoes away Rocks on the road, yeah
