A flight of crows, my insect heart
The ticking veins, this godless dark
The druggy days the pointless pain
The letterbox that's full of rain

My glitter hips, this bloodless art
The end of days, the starless dark
A bag of tears where love is gone
The darling days, a siren song

I am the boy that invented rock and roll
I am the boy that invented rock and roll

The breathless air, the frozen tide
The greenless spring, the timeless night
The suicidal drunken dance
The sense that things will fall apart

I am the boy that invented rock and roll
I am the boy that invented rock and roll
