This Is The Place

This is the place, where Rockers go to die.
Elvis took a knee, and Springsteen said goodbye.
This is the place where you leave it all on stage
Keith Richard sings the lead, and Iggy Pop still bleeds.

I see you standing there, and I want you to believe
That I still believe, it’s 1983
The guitars still sound the same, even though I’ve got no hair
Look into my eyes. Yeah, I still kinda care.

This is the place, where rockers come to die
Hear Johnny Rotten rage! See Mick Jagger cry.
This is the place, where we leave it all on stage.
Lou Reed forgot the word, Bowie faked outrage.

I May be getting old, but I still wanna scream
Time’s slipping through my hands, I want you to believe.
Old rockers never die, they just kinda fade away
Let’s turn our backs on time, I know you still believe.

This is the place where rockers go to die
Costello gave a damn, man Bono never lies.
This is the place where we leave it all on stage
Dee Dee never let us down, Ian Curtis lives today!

Take my hand tonight, even though I’m feeling cold.
Death’s grip can be our bond, romance is never old.
Turn out the lights, and slip into my bed
Young feelings never die, It’s all just in your head.

This is the place where rockers go to die
Morrison wore a beard, Hendrix never died.
This is the place where we leave it all on stage
Stipe still loves the moon, Madonna’s getting laid.
Madonna’s getting laid…
Madonna’s getting laid…
Madonna’s getting laid…She’s such a fake!
Madonna…..She’s getting laid!
