Lyrics for Rocks Off

Oh yeah 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? I'm always hearing voices on the street I want to shout, but I can't hardly speak I was making love last night To a dancer friend of mine I can't seem to stay in step Cause she come ev'ry time that she pirouettes over me And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed Plug in, flush out and fire the fuckin' feed 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 But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming (Only get them off) I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping (Only get them off) Feel so hypnotized, can't describe the scene It's all mesmerized all that inside me The sunshine bores the daylights out of me Chasing shadows moonlight mystery Headed for the overload Splattered on the dirty road Kick me like you've kicked before I can't even feel the pain no more And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming (Only get them off, get them off) I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping (Only get them off, get them off)...
