lyrics

Jonathan & me were on a train that took us to the Velvet Underground
We were so excited and a little worried about the treble in their guitar sound

He was in the window seat while I tried not to smoke
We had to pay in advance
We had no money left
We had to drink from one can

It’s not a rock ‘n roll rock ‘n roll rock ‘n roll rock ‘n roll rock ‘n roll rock ‘n roll life

Jonathan & me were on a train we’d never been that far from home ground
Jonathan said look I won’t be coming back and when I get to New York I’ll stay around

It’s not a rock ‘n roll rock ‘n roll rock ‘n roll rock ‘n roll rock ‘n roll rock ‘n roll life
