Rocks Off

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 every 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
I only get my rocks off
While I'm sleeping
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

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
I only get my rocks off
While I'm sleeping
I only get my rocks off
While I'm dreaming
I only get my rocks off
While I'm sleeping
Only get them off
Only get them off
Get them off
Only get them off
En 'Rocks Off' de The Rolling Stones, la canción nos sumerge en un viaje de experiencias sensoriales y emocionales. La letra narra la sensación de escuchar voces en la calle, de querer expresarse pero no poder, de perderse en el acto de hacer el amor con un amigo bailarín...
