That Drop Is Steep

You can always plant the towel

With the benefit of the Scotch

I can always tell the hour

By the readout on my watch

I was uninhabitable for a difficult stretch

Born under a bad sign, born out of breath

Something about rock and roll makes me nervous for the future

Something about rock and roll makes it difficult to sleep

I've been a Kentucky colonel and I've been a Hoosier

I've seen the top and man that drop is steep

Sew it up with thread and needle

Make sure it doesn't lose stock

Meet the parents, meet the Beatles

Baby you can drive my car

I was unavoidable much to everyone's chagrin

Turn up like a bad penny and you will get fooled again

You don't have to call for Stella

You don't have to be so method

I don't see much that can compel us

From "A Band Apart" to "Breathless"

I made an offer that you couldn't accept

Don't bother answering 'cause nothing is correct

Something about rock and roll makes me feel defensive

Something about rock and roll affects the friends I keep

Sometimes your hobbies get a little expensive

I have seen the top and man that drop is steep

If you're looking to get off

If you're looking to be present

If you say you got a cough

Or something equally unpleasant

Well they say I'm getting soft

They say I'm growing aloof

They say I've been double-crossed

All I need to see is proof

Something about rock and roll makes me nervous for the future

Something about rock and roll makes it difficult to sleep

I have been the stab wound and I have been the suture

I have seen the top and man that drop is steep
