Garage Band '69 Lyrics - Holiday In Dirt - Stan Ridgway

In an old garage 

Rain is comin' down 

Half a block away 

You can hear that sound 

Powered up by love 

And electricity 

Makin' lots of noise 

And feelin' free 

Got a brand new amp 

A speaker with a tear 

Shock ourselves on wires 

Make believe that we don't care 

I call this a song 

Because I say it is 

This one's about cleopatra 

Or maybe nick or liz 

Chorus: 

You play the drums today 

I'll play guitar 

We're gonna be in a famous band 

We're gonna go real far 

So pass over that bottle o' wine 

We'll smoke all the cigarettes 

Is that a car in the driveway? 

We have not finished yet 

I heard an old man next door 

I think we killed 'im with our sound 

I saw the body in the ambulance 

Maybe we should turn it down 

So everybody back off one notch 

And close that door on down
