Purple Neon Rose

[Verse 1]

Holy roller radio
You need a thick skin alligator
Used to heartbreak
Knows their way around an atom bomb
Knows how to get a movie made
I need a five-string Jaguar
Gloss polyurethane
Bloodstains on the frets and the volume knob
Don’t care how she looks as long as she plays
Don’t care how she looks as long as she plays
Don’t care how she looks as long as she plays

[Chorus]

So baby let’s go down
To the Purple Neon Rose
Drink until we’re broke
Write these lyrics on the bathroom wall
You can bum my last smoke
at The Purple Neon Rose

[Verse 2]

You need a vagabond gladiator
Never twice in the same place
Knows how to shimmy with the lights off
Knows how to keep a poker face
I need a love like vinyl
Needle in the hay
Round and round spin me right round baby
Don’t care how she sounds as long as she plays
Don’t care how she sounds as long as she plays
Don’t care how she sounds as long as she plays

[Chorus]

So baby let’s go down
To the Purple Neon Rose
Drink until we’re broke
Write these lyrics on the bathroom wall
You can bum my last smoke
at The Purple Neon Rose

[Bridge]

[instrumental break]
Holy roller radio

[Verse 3]

You need a thick skin alligator
Used to heartbreak
Knows their way around an atom bomb
Knows how to get a movie made

holy roller radio

[Chorus]

So baby let’s go down
To the Purple Neon Rose
Drink until we’re broke
Write these lyrics on the bathroom wall
You can bum my last smoke
at The Purple Neon Rose
