Lyrics[edit | edit source]
My heart is black, and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Three thousand guitars, they seem to cry
My ears will melt, and then my eyes
Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
Cities on flame, now, with rock and roll
Gardens of nocturne, forbidden delight
Reins of steel and it’s all right
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Marshall will buoy, but Fender control
So let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
Cities on flame, now, with rock and roll
My heart is black and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Three thousand guitars, they seem to cry
My ears will melt, and then my eyes
So let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
Cities on flame, now, with rock and roll
