We were talking 'bout the state of rock 'n' roll
You were smoking Camel Lights calming down from your show
The conversation quickly turned into singing with the stereo
We forgot what we were saying got so into
What was playing on the stereo, on the stereo

We knew every word, we'd felt that way before
It was moving and it made us move
We were out keeping time on the floor
Getting down to the urge

Singing just to feed the human nature need to be heard
Dancing just to fight the fearful state of feeling alone
So long as men and women long to meet
And bottles make for microphones
Rock 'n' roll won't need saving it'll have us by the throat and the soul

We knew every word, we'd felt that way before
It was moving and it made us move
We were out keeping time on the floor
Getting down to the urge

And we knew every word 'cause we'd felt that way before
It was moving and it made us move
We were out keeping time on the floor
Getting down to the urge

We were talking 'bout the state of rock 'n' roll
You were smoking Camel Lights calming down from your show
The conversation quickly turned into singing with the stereo
We forgot what we were saying got so into
What was playing on the stereo
