Şarkı Sözleri
"I was in a really dark place,"
"I even thought of packing it in, but I just could not bring myself to do it."
"I met an old friend that I had a real connection with,"
"And he saw my despair."
"He asked me if I'd like to play with him,"
"And as we played I felt, slowly but surely, rock 'n roll grab me by the neck, and I, well..."
You are a man of impeccable taste
And you know when the X marks the spot
We all need a map for the trail of your thought
Where to go? Well, the X marks the spot
You seem to have a misgiving
Hell yeah, you make a living
Don't add bricks to what we're heaving
We would so much rather enjoy the beach, beer and a fire
You think something somewhere has a copyright for the world
And you've signed where the X marks the spot
You join a cult, fill the void that you've got
Deep within where the X marks the spot
There you stand and talk and holler how dark are all your colors
When you paint another sunrise you leave out the sun
Birds like you fly straight to heaven, heaven
Or they slowly float away
How well do you know those you're calling your own?
I mean... come on, dude! (X marks the spot)
Your starving soul in your house of skin and bone
You're an island, the X marks the spot
"Testify children, testify."
There you stand and talk and holler how dark are all your colors
When you paint another sunrise you leave out the sun
Birds like you fly straight to heaven, heaven
Or they slowly float away...
Birds like you fly straight to heaven, heaven
Or they slowly float away...
"Rock'n'roll allowed me to join this band,"
"And there was a period of time when I hadn't exactly lost my soul,"
"I just didn't know where I'd put it,"
"And I ended up in some very dark places and some dire circumstances."
"Now let me tell you, children, I was trying to fill a void in my heart."
"To fill that void I got what I always wanted:"
"Success, prosperity, the admiration I wanted as a player,"
"I got play some big shows and travel the world from end to end."
"And in the midst of it all I had this yearning in my heart."
"Yearning in my heart for rock'n'roll."
"I was called to join this band,"
"And I was surrounded by good folks who were servants of the rock'n'roll who passed on the love."
"I'll testify: the fear was in me, I was afraid of everything,"
"I can swear I saw my own living heart beating through my shirt."
You are a circus, but where is the clown?
There's no map, still the X marks the spot
There you stand and talk and holler how dark are all your colors
When you paint another sunrise you leave out the sun
Birds like you fly straight to heaven, heaven
Or they slowly float down into the night with senior John Barleycorn
Heaven, heaven
Or they slowly float away
"Now you children, are you ready to spread the word?"
"Everybody sing, 'Eo'"
"Everybody sing, 'wohoho'"
"Everybody sing 'hey-hey', 'wow-wow', 'hey-hey' huh?"
Birds like you fly straight to heaven, heaven
Or they slowly float away...
Birds like you fly straight to heaven, heaven
Or they slowly float away...
"And the funny thing was I was like a spiritual baby running around with diapers on where the X marks the spot."
"I'd given my life to rock'n'roll but I still wasn't sure was there rock'n'roll? Is it real?"
