lyrics

We’re back in the papers
playing music til we call it quits
for disagreeable strangers
I don’t remember how it came to this
what do we know about rock n roll?
What do we know, now the lights have changed?

It’s been way too long with the same old song in tow
another no-where crowd and we’re still too loud
yeah, you think we’d know better?
Is this what we came for?
Goin’ in through the back door?
Burning peckers and cold sores?
To play one more dive
One more dive

Up to the gills in No-doze
driving slow into another town
hey, we could stage a no-show
they won’t notice we’re not around!
What do we know about rock n roll?
What do we know about a motel room?

Early-morning calls and I feel lovelorn again
savage bugs in bed, I stay up instead
it ain’t money for nothing!
Highways and breakdowns
take a piss in a playground
stupid critics and bloodhounds
to play one more dive
one more dive
to play one more dive
one more – oh, my head hurts!

Smelling like an old corpse
with ringin’ ears and brute-force
still flogging a dead horse
to play one more dive
to play one more dive.
