Lyrics
Well, you blew your cover too many times
One for the moment, why don't you give me a sign
Come on, give me some time, yeah
You feel departed, 'cause no one's trying
And no one's buying or electrifying their own
And you feel like a change

On the raceway, it's a touché
Violet stingray, you got to get out, oh

You got to rockaway, rockaway
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got to rockaway, rockaway, yeah
Leave a little room, 'cause
You got to rockaway, rockaway
Yeah, yeah, alright
You got to rockaway, rockaway

Fairies fumble in the night, ha
Rockets stumble, it feels like a bumble shot flight
Ooh, it's so tight, yeah, yeah
'Cause your time in taken, the metal's flaking
Heads are shaking, oh, you're in a bash
Oh, you're gonna crash
You're gonna crash, 'cause

In a nutshell, there's a real hell
In a bombshell, in an inkwell
Gets hard to tell, yeah

You got to rockaway, rockaway, yeah, yeah
You got to rockaway, rockaway
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Leave a little room, 'cause
Ooh, you got to rockaway, rockaway
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Leave a little, little bit of time
You got to rockaway, rockaway, uh!

Ooh, rockaway

In a nutshell, there's a real hell
In a bombshell, in an inkwell
Gets hard to tell, 'cause
It's hard to tell, well

You got to rockaway, rockaway
Yeah, yeah, ha!
You got to rockaway, rockaway
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

You got to rockaway, rockaway
Yeah, yeah, oh, rockaway
You got to rockaway, rockaway
Come on and rockaway!
You got to rockaway, rockaway
