Lyrics

[Intro]

Oh yeah

[Verse 1]

I hear you talkin' 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 checkin' out for sure?

Is he gonna close the door on me?

[Verse 2]

I'm always hearin' voices on the street

I want to shout, but I can hardly speak

I was makin' love last night

To a dancer friend of mine

I can't seem to stay in step

'Cause she come every time that she pirouette for me

[Chorus]

And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreamin'

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleepin'

[Verse 3]

I'm zippin' through the days at lightnin' speed

Plug in, flush out and fire the fuckin' feed

[PreChorus]

Headin' for the overload

Splattered on the dusty road

Kick me like you kicked before

I can't even feel the pain no more

[Chorus]

And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreamin'

And I only get my rocks off while I'm sleepin'

[Bridge]

Feel so hypnotized

Can't describe the scene

Oh

It's all mesmerized

All that inside me

Oh

[Verse 4]

The sunshine bores the daylights out of me

Chasing shadows, moonlight mystery

[PreChorus]

Headin' for the overload

Splattered on the dirty road

Kick me like you kicked before

I can't even feel the pain no more

[Chorus]

And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreamin'

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleepin'

And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreamin'

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping

[Outro]

And I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping, baby

Only get 'em off, get 'em off

Only get 'em off
