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 That's the one I know
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
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
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 on in 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 Oh my dear 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
Give me rock and roll Give me rock and roll 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
