Rock n Roll Encore by Stephen Jones

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
I remember back in '55, when the world was black and white
We'd spin those waxen wonders, holding on so very tight
The jukebox in the corner, glowing red and turning gold
A rhythm so much brighter than the stories we were told

(Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh, we were spinning like a top
We couldn't ever, ever make the beatin' stop
Just a-thumpin' and a-jumpin' on the soda shop floor
We were living in the wonder of the rock 'n' roll encore

(Verse 2)
My daddy called it nonsense, Mama said it was a phase
We'd laugh and turn it louder, lost in that electric haze
With pennies for the player and our hearts against the beat
We found a sweeter language, made for clumsy teenage feet

(Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh, we were spinning like a top
We couldn't ever, ever make the beatin' stop
Just a-thumpin' and a-jumpin' on the soda shop floor
We were living in the wonder of the rock 'n' roll encore

(Bridge)
The years, they try to teach you, try to tell you to be wise
They try to trade your leather jacket for a necktie in disguise
But somewhere in the static, underneath the modern sound
That simple, silly rhythm can still be found

(Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh, I'm still spinning like a top
I won't ever, ever let the beatin' stop
Still a-thumpin' and a-jumpin' on my kitchen floor
I'm back inside the wonder of that rock 'n' roll encore

(Outro)
Yeah, the rock 'n' roll encore...
Just a-thumpin' and a-jumpin'...
Can't stop the beat...
No, we'll never stop the beat
