[Intro] Oh yeah [Verse 1] I hear you talking when I'm on the street Your mouth don't move, but I can hear you speak What's the matter with the boy? He don't come around no more Is he checking out for sure? Is he gonna close the door on me? And I'm always hearing voices on the street I want to shout, but I can hardly speak I was making love last night to a dancer friend of mine I can't seem to stay in step Because she come every time that she pirouettes over me [Chorus] And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming (Only get them off, only get them off, only get them off) I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping (Only get them off, only get them off) [Verse 2] I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed Plug in, flush out and fire the fucking feed [Pre-Chorus] Heading for the overload Splattered on the nasty road Kick me like you've kicked before I can't even feel the pain no more [Chorus] And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming (Only get them off, only get them off, only get them off) I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping (Only get them off, only get them off) [Bridge] Feel so hypnotized, can't describe the scene, oh It's all mesmerized, all that inside me, oh [Verse 3] The sunshine bores the daylights out of me Chasing shadows, moonlight mystery [Pre-Chorus] Heading for the overload Splattered on the dirty road Kick me like you've kicked before I can't even feel the pain no more [Chorus] And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming (Only get them off, only get them off, only get them off) I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping (Only get them off, only get them off) And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming (Only get them off, only get them off, only get them off) And I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping (Only get them off, only get them off) And I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping (Only get them off, only get them off, only get them off) (Only get them off, get them off, only get them off)
