Take up all your time
Kick up your heels, looking fine
And you come riding blind
You come rolling back a while
Wind a-blowing on, yeah
We’re gonna move on and on
Sweating heat soak you all
Beat it out, I’ll make you crawl all night
Decibel
Decibel
Has you from deep inside
You were waving then you smiled
Debonair rock and roll
Very loud
Louder than rain
Cool, in there rocking, standing proud
Decibel
That’s the history of rock n roll
Decibel
When I’ve called on
We’re going to ride along
A hundred miles, in all
Betting in night ’til dawn
Spread the joy coming on
Yeah, hard and long
Slide right down
With a shock, hit the ground
Decibel
Decibel
Decibel
You come rolling back a while
Decibel
