Why is it seemingly so beyond me

 I feel that we're on a roll
 So now I feel it's time to rock
 Now that we're out of the hole
 We're only running down the clock

 You know that every so often
 It so happens the planets align
 The paper said my moon's in Venus
 So I'm taking it as a sign

 I for one feel that this is the time
 Let's return to the scene of the crime
 Rock and roll is alive and alright
 Let them know vis a vis classifieds

 It should be understated
 But don't make it oversimplified
 Like you eulogy related
 How I lived and then I died

 Yet another thing that I didn't know
 Why is it seemingly so beyond me
 Why is it seemingly so beyond me

 Dance with the creeps and the queens
 The kings have all gone home to bed
 Gone is the American dream
 That would have gone right to my head

 'Cause we couldn't get accustomed
 And we couldn't find a thing to wear
 You underestimate us
 You can hate us for all I care

 Yet another thing that I didn't know
 Why is it seemingly so...

 I put a quarter in the record machine
 I thought I'd dedicated one to Jolene
 But it was full of records I'd never seen
 The times change and it's so beyond me
