[Intro]
[Verse 1]
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 doors on me?
[Verse 2]
And I hear you talking when I'm on the street
And 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
She come every time that she pirouettes over me
[Chorus]
And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming
And I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping
[Verse 3]
I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed
Plug in, flush out and fire the fucking feed
Heading for the overload
Splattered on the dusty road
Kick me like you've kicked before
I don't even feel the pain no more
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Feel so hypnotized, can't describe the scene
It's all mesmerized all this inside me
[Outro]
I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping
I only get 'em off
Get 'em off, get 'em off
I only get 'em off
C'mon!
