Fairfax, AK - Borrowed Melodies lyrics

Well that ticket taker God bless his soul Telling' all the children he invented rock n' roll But they turn him a deaf ear They've been bored all weekend And they're just so happy to be here And that ba** player He's trying to push the beat a little faster And that guitar player He's wearin' out the finish on that telecaster And that singer He scans the front row for attractive ladies While the band behind him Plays those borrowed melodies And the band's playin' songs that are new But the old ones the crowd don't even know the words to They're only here to escape the working week's tragedies Sit back, have a drink, and enjoy those waves of sound Waves of borrowed melodies And there's a man wearing the shirt of the band He's gonna try to sell you merchandise But pay no mind to him When a young girl across the room Peers into your eyes
