I used to have fifteen guitars
now I’m holding onto my last one
it was my first, the closest I ever got to love
was when she sang

the moment before you pull the trigger
STOP
look deep into whatever passes for your soul
no matter how bad this world may treat you
there’s always rock N roll

eighty dollars a pill on the street
for what I used to get free
going down in the park
doing what I have to do to survive

the moment before you pull the trigger
STOP
look deep into whatever passes for your soul
no matter how bad this world may treat you
there’s always rock N roll

every last fix is worse
than every last fix before
just when you think you hit bottom
you find out every bottom has a trap door

the moment before you pull the trigger
STOP
look deep into whatever passes for your soul
no matter how bad this world may treat you
there’s always rock N roll

I’m not gonna say I’m keeping
to the sunny side of the street
but as far as any pale, old, has-been can
I’m keeping it so my ear drums bleed!

the moment before you pull the trigger
STOP
look deep into whatever passes for your soul
no matter how bad this world may treat you
there’s always rock N roll
