ATTACK OF THE MILKWORMS · TRACK 11

A Brief Treatise On The Virtues Of Rock/And Or Roll

LYRICS

You talk about it like it's all the same You don't get why it's a crying shame You can't feel it getting under your wings You don't appreciate the finer things You like to go out in your fancy shoes But you don't realise you're missing the blues If you can last a second without your heels I can show you how nirvana feels

From the edge of the sea To the mountains and snow You can take it with you everywhere you go In the glorious sun Or in the pouring rain There's music running through your veins

I hear the hum when I plug in the jack I feel it hit me like a heart attack The chords ring out like a roaring beast It's a moving pentatonic minor ear feast Euphoric bliss rushes over the crowd The only way to listen is to turn up loud I couldn't live if I didn't have rock Don't need the roll, if I had to stop

From the edge of the sea To the mountains of snow To the mountains of snow You can take it with you everywhere you go In the light of the day And in the dark of the night You can feel the rhythm when you're out of sight

When you're out in the woods In the cradle of fear You can hear the melody with nobody near In the glorious sun Or in the pouring rain There's music running through your veins

From the edge of the sea To the mountains of snow To the mountains of snow You can take it with you everywhere you go In the light of the day And in the dark of the night You can feel the rhythm when you're out of sight
