The Rock Doc

(album: The Glory Of Fruit Bats - 2016)

Heard you're not feeling so hot
You should go and see the rock doc
He'll give you a B12 shot
Maybe fix you up

I can still see you're a scared cub
Want to be loved by everyone
Maybe it's time that you should slow it up
Sick of seeing you pale and throwing up

You got designs on the world I see
Maybe hoping for a dynasty
Maybe just good old fashioned beauty and truth
Or just some girls to talk to

Headlined at the Roundhouse
Big gigs from Tokyo to Pittsburgh
You've had the sampler platter of the world
And that's not so bad

And I'm feeling worn and lived in
Cuz I tried so fucking hard back when
And I blew one too many spark plugs
Trying to love and to be loved
And I tried so hard it broke me
'Til the cigarettes were smoking me
Not even a little bit of mercy
No holding back

I can still see you're a scared cub
Want to be loved by everyone
Maybe it's time that you should slow it up
Sick of seeing you pale and throwing up

And I'm feeling worn and lived in
Cuz I tried so fucking hard back when
And I blew one too many spark plugs
Trying to love and to be loved
And I tried so hard it broke me
'Til the cigarettes were smoking me
Not even a little bit of mercy
No holding back
No holding back

Just try to love and you'll be loved
Just try to love and you'll be loved
Just try to love and you'll be loved
Just try to love and you'll be loved
